Hi Shamil Surprisingly? No maybe not. Common sense and decent behaviour have existed since man got civilized. I'll make a note on that book. Thanks! /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Salakhetdinov Shamil Sendt: 29. januar 2014 13:40 Til: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] A new graphic program builder Hi Gustav -- "The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition)" by Frederick P. Brooks Jr. http://www.amazon.com/The-Mythical-Man-Month-Engineering-Anniversary/dp/0201835959 is a "must read" IMO. Recommended. > I share your skepticism. Well, shall we better call it "common sense realism"? :) - "If there are certain principles, as I think there are, which the constitution of our nature leads us to believe, and which we are under a necessity to take for granted in the common concerns of life, without being able to give a reason for them — these are what we call the principles of common sense; and what is manifestly contrary to them, is what we call absurd." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Common_Sense_Realism ) Surprisingly(?) the above statement seems to have roots in Romans (1:20) ( http://www.usccb.org/bible/romans/1:20 ) (The relation of "Governing is in detail(s)" idiom and Romans(1:20) is noted also here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_is_in_the_detail where I have got first it from.) -- Shamil
