And the amusing thing is that this book is what, 30 21 years old? And it's still relevant. Shows you how much all these paradigm shifts have really accomplished. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.
Sensitivity and ethnic diversity means celebrating difference, not hiding from it. - Christian Graus

Yep. That's because most of the problems we face in software development are human-related issues, not technical. It's just that most people haven't figured that out yet.

Freud wasn't a software development manager (good grief - can you imagine what it would be like if he were!). We're not talking deep and meaningful here.

Freud:This bug you have, in the interest calculation routine...Programmer:Yes, i know, i forgot to initialize the loop index, will correct it immediately.Freud:No, no, this is a sure indication of something deeper... how close were you to your mother?Programmer:Uh, well, we always got on ok i guess, except - Hey! I'm telling you, it's just a stupid little error, i was in a hurry.Freud:Ah, i see... Very interesting... the error is 'little', and you were rushed... Did she criticize you in front of your father?Programmer:Huh? Hey, what are you implying?Freud:Nothing, nothing... Tell me about your father, how did you see him?Programmer:All right, that's enough! I've fixed the bug & checked in the change. OK?Freud:I notice you have a lot of pens scattered on your desk...Programmer::mad::rolleyes: ---

It's much better than the term "embedded," though. I'm tired of hearing about embedded reporters. That must be a lousy job, like having a career as a suppository. - Roger Wright

Wow, a blast from the past, I remember reading it when it first came out. It all comes down to one thing really, not just in software development, we never learn from history. There is no real difference in the method of planning a large software project as to say building the pyramids, the general principles apply. But as allways our generation allways knows better!
