Seeing Like a Software Company

/

Extreme TLDR: Organizations prioritize legibility to facilitate tracking and planning, often at the cost of efficiency. This leads to a reliance on both legible (structured, measurable) and illegible (informal, untrackable) work. While small software companies thrive on illegibility for rapid delivery, large companies persist with legibility for benefits like enterprise deal-making, despite inefficiencies. This creates friction between those exploiting illegibility and those adhering to formal processes, highlighting the dual nature of work in tech companies.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

/ ,

DAST: security testing method assessing apps in runtime. Identifies vulnerabilities by simulating attacks without source code access. Essential for uncovering runtime issues, security flaws, and configuration errors. Complementary to Static Application Security Testing (SAST). Targets web applications, APIs, and services to ensure robust security posture.

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

/

SCA evaluates software dependencies for vulnerabilities, licensing issues, and compliance risks. It automates identification of open-source components, ensuring security and legal adherence in software development.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

/

Cloud-based software delivery model; subscription-based, scalable; enables access via internet; eliminates need for local installation and maintenance; examples include CRM, collaboration tools, storage solutions.
