> You can’t constantly change software contracts without causing bugs You can't write software without causing bugs, static requirements or not. The software that goes into air/space-crafts is written this way, and it still breaks occasionally. Sometimes bugs are circumvented with hardware because it's cheaper and more reliable than making the software change. Buildings have fault tolerances. You can use the wrong amount of something, or put something in the wrong place, and have it still work. If buildings had to be designed and built exactly corrects or they fell apart, we wouldn't have buildings. > We need to develop software slower To each his own. Most software is fine having bugs. I'd rather have a modern web browser with a few bugs than have an ascii-only command line browser that works flawlessly. The U.S. economy would agree with me there. The software in your pacemaker or car, sure, balance safety and speed to save the most lives/time, but most software operates in domains with far lower stakes.
