Can Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Ideas Help Build Better Software?

At university, Fredrik studied theoretical philosophy. One of the more strange philosophers he studied was Wittgenstein. He meant that we will never understand each other. His theories have since then been dormant in Fredrik’s mind. Currently, as being part of starting up a new section his ideas have re-surfaced. Now twenty years later when Fredrik thinks back of them, they actually make some sense. Maybe the theory might be useful to explain why communication is vital to successful software delivery and to bridge the gap between Dev and Ops.
