The Economist Tackles Complexity in IT
yfnET writes "In recent weeks, The Economist has run a number of articles addressing the ever-increasing complexity of software systems. The magazine, with typical Economist wisdom, casts an eye towards past human endeavors for lessons on how today's IT industry can succeed in dealing with complexity. As part of last month's extensive survey of information technology (see Related Items sidebar), the magazine offers insight on the limits of real-world metaphors, the perils of managing a rat's nest of obsolescent systems, and the need for 'disappearing' technology. And hitting newsstands just today is an overview of development models for increasingly large and unwieldy software projects. Among other things, this article compares the open source model to Microsoft's efforts using a quasi-open license. It also describes the 'agile' programming movement and its potential to keep even the most gigantic of projects under control."

Bathe in the healing light of my cock.
Don't forget to get it behind your ears too.
People have. Postmarxist, postcapitalist economic thinking is alive and well. Of course, those people are now experiencing the "then they ignore you" phase ;)
Troll. Everyone knows lisp and smalltalk don't work in the real world... everyone that is except for a small number of programmers who have never made it out of academia and think these languages are relevant to real software engineering.
