Would be awesome if we had some actual proof (science) backing this up. Anyone?

- elric 2y agoIf you're interested in some scientific background to Software Engineering, I can recommend the book "Making Software" (O'reilly) by Andy Oram & Greg Wilson. It's a bit old now, but addresses and challenges many common beliefs about Software Engineering. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/making-software/9780596808310/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/making-software/9780596...
