So first off, this is almost 30yo, predates agile. You can tell that, because the bullshit detector reveals only 3 words. A lot of people are saying "construction and software are very different". This is fair, but this is not how I read it. The point being conveyed is not that the methods used in software don't make sense in construction, or that we're using the wrong method in software because construction does it differently, but to outline the outlandishness of certain expectations in software and of software devs (extreme flexibility, ridiculous cost, taking in the needs of the planet, doing all the jobs) that, dare I say, didn't change much in the 29y since this was written. That these are bytes and those are bricks don't change that thise expectations are unrealistic, and that post makes that point in a funny way.
