It's Not Software (2004)
- incision 13y agoJurassic is just confusing, simply putting 2004 would be a lot more useful.
- swah 13y agoOk..
- saosebastiao 13y agoContext, if not apparent from the article: written while working at Amazon.
- swah 13y ago[ot] Curious from other posts: are you Brazilian/Portuguese (your nick)?
- saosebastiao 13y agoI'm half Portuguese (Azorean). The name is from a parish in Angra do Heroismo, on Terceira.
- lurkinggrue 13y agoThank you! I was missing some serious context.
- tlarkworthy 13y agoI like this highlights that data is a separate important issue in the lifecycle. The software system is program + data. With web technologies the programs are the easy bit and the data is the bit you need to protect against your competitors. The new software paradigm since this article was written is is machine learning, where the training set is also the most expensive development cost. Procedures for the collection and refinement of the training set needs to be properly designed for a long term service. Good read!
- krallja 13y agoRemember when Stevey "accidentally" posted his SOA rant on G+ in October 2011? (Rehosted on Gist: https://gist.github.com/kgrz/2880883 https://gist.github.com/kgrz/2880883 ) A large number of these ideas are still very much alive in his head.
