An interesting sociological question arises about how knowledge is passed down through generations.
One could count the number of software engineering management tenets on one hand. One of them was detailed in a popular book almost a half century ago.
If managers haven’t heard of the Mythical Man Month, how can one have any confidence at all about any of their decisions. Is management a knowledge-free profession?
- ratww 4y agoI knew a CEO that claimed that Mythical Man Month was his favourite book. As soon as it was decided the team was late (due to constantly changing scope) he put forth a plan to make the team 4x bigger in one year. Contrary to probably the most obvious lesson from the book. People just don't read. Or admit THEY are at fault.
