It's bound to kill something that nothing else will kill.
- fuzzfactor 2y agoSorry to hurt anyone's feelings who prefer to focus exclusively on the possibility of also bringing something to life that nothing else will bring to life either. My bad.
- SideburnsOfDoom 2y agoThe relevant context, is the essay, "No Silver Bullet—Essence and Accident in Software Engineering" - Fred Brooks, 1986. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet See also "The Mythical Man-Month" by the same author. Mr Cooper's point is that these same arguments still apply, and we would do well to revisit them at source.
