"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.

Hi All,

I have just got this link 

http://arxiv.org/ftp/cs/papers/0607/0607022.pdf

via google and I have just finished reading the first page of this document.

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!
