<<< Wow. An entire profession dismissed >>> Hello Jim, And computer science academic researches also :) <<< For fifty years software science researchers have struggled to perfect practical set logics. These efforts so far have been fruitless and futile. >>> And then this passage: <<< Differential state dynamics logics are the native logics of practical reality. The intrinsic order of physical reality is solely state dynamical. The emergent order of practical reality is reducible to complex physical differential dynamics. We conveniently live in a universe where the differential meaning of intrinsic order is necessary and sufficient for all practical purposes. >>> Which I think is beyond me. Could that be they somehow consider "Chaos theory" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory) as a foundation for the "alternative principled software production approaches" they mention here in optimistic final part of their writing?: <<< These solutions will require alternative principled software production approaches. Such approaches appear to be possible and practical today. They will likely be highly profitable as well. >>> -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Hale, Jim Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 7:24 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Recommended weekend reading :) - Ten incredibly dangerous software ideas "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
