> In software development we are still trying to figure out how to write a CRUD app that doesn't implode in the most entertaining ways. What utter nonsense. Shame on you for shitting on what I do. > Those cathedrals were built after centuries of research and practice, continuously trying out what works and what not. And they were built so poorly that most great cathedrals are constantly being repaired. If you visit the Cologne Cathedral at a random time, there's maybe a one-in-ten chance that you see it without a scaffold. Just in case you actually believe the ridiculous idea (implied by the above comment) that pre-scientific craftsmen magically built better stuff than modern software engineers. God I despise the self-loathing of this industry.
