Good Enoughing: software work at middle tech. Book talk by Prof. Paula Bialski, University of St. Gallen


Event Description

Situated between science and technology studies, software studies, and ethnographic inquiry, in this lecture, Prof. Bialski will take the audience on a journey describing neither the tech giant or the flashy startup, but the run-of-the-mill Middletech: a place where software is built to be just “good enough” to function and workers create and sustain a complex culture of good enoughness. 

In examining the materiality of software in shaping the organization of software work, Bialski will show how software’s technical constraints—such as bugs or legacy code —impacts daily workflows, decision-making processes, and power dynamics among software engineers.
