The Mythical Agent-Month – Wes McKinney

Wes McKinney

@mikedewar was this good, or did it just align with my prejudices?

anyway, I liked to hear an optimistic take on human relevance, and the accidental / essential complexity distinction rings very true (and, of course, nobody being able to clearly define the boundary)

@tomstafford I think it was actually good! It's the first time I've seen someone articulate the feeling I've been having that design doesn't go away when you have infinite correct text, in fact it becomes HARDER.
