Change in a software project definitely isn’t free but I do think it’s fair to say it’s easier than changing a bridge design halfway through.
Maybe there’s not as big a difference as people think, though?
It occurs to me that is actually possible to change the design of a bridge late in the day. The extra dampers to fix resonance problems on London’s Millennium Bridge are a nice example.
- peteradio 7y agoI think there is a bit of respect for the bridge building process not to change it half way through on a whim.
- iainmerrick 7y agoOr maybe bridge engineers are better at pushing back on change requests. (I don’t actually know which it is; maybe it’s both)
