  Software is a garden, and we are it’s gardeners. I have a garden. Weeds grow without my assistance. The veggies and flowers mostly do their own thing as well. I wish new and strange things grew overnight in my IDE.

  ... and this is how we get crappy software. If anything we need more adherence to the construction, specifically, "review". In construction, things are reviewed, certified, analyzed, and tested. I don't garden like I write software, and I definitely don't write software like I garden. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go do something about these ground squirrels eating all the tomatoes.
