October 20, 2009, on Software Design Review:
In my years as a software engineer, it has always been business people that resisted the formal software engineering process. The engineers are the ones who see and fear the complexity of major projects but business people often do not. Perhaps your thesis ought to be that software firms run by engineers succeed due to an appreciation of these risks and hence are willing to finance the risks of mitigating them? Secondly, note that I did not claim that business manager are 'lazy' or incompetent. If one has respect for the professiona software engineeringl regiment, one should at least feign respect for the professionals who also advocate it.
