Software engineering is an optimisation problem in the same sense that other engineering fields are optimisation problems. There are tradeoffs to be made on many dimensions, just like in any engineering discipline.

- marketingPro 6y agoI recommend reviewing the scientific method. Not that you don't already know the scientific method. But there is a huge difference between science and tradition/authority/art and it's good to realize what is required for something to be science. (And it's not You, people often confuse science with authority/art/tradition)
