Software, I believe, is one of the hardest things to get right! It requires a lot of optimism and whole lot of of realism. On the bright side, software is like bringing pure thought into reality which satisfies the human need to create, but the sheer complexity of the simplest things makes perfection almost unachievable.
Today I started reading the Mythical Man Month by Frederick P Brooks, which I have heard many a software pundit mention. One of the cornerstone philosophies of the book is that adding more developers to a late software project only makes it later. I am looking forward to reading to the end of the book in order to better understand this beast called software.
