A Note to Business Leaders on Software Engineering

Strategic Tech

Software development is not an established discipline where there is a clear technique used to solve any given problem. In fact, there are near infinite ways to solve every software engineering challenging. The costs of entropy in software systems cannot be over-emphasised. This is natural, yet this is also a big problem.
