"Today successful software production depends on pattern programming craftwork cleverness. .....Even so, the software industry can't even begin to produce most of the software that its customers really want in this way." Wow. An entire profession dimissed. Kakfa would be proud. Much food for thought here, much of which is probably correct but not very tasty. Interesting read, thanks.

It looks interesting and promising to give new insights of software industry intrinsic troubles. It gives "a systematic critique of the software industry. This critique is accomplished using classical methods in practical design science." This is not an easy stuff to read I must say. Therefore maybe better postpone its reading for Monday or better Tuesday because Monday is not usually an easy day by definition :) Enjoy! -- Shamil -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com *********************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
