Thank you Maxi. The tragedy of the current state of software engineering lies in the stubborn refusal to admit the staggering level of uncertainty any software project is faced with. We still insist that software engineering is basically no different than traditional forms of engineering -- electrical, civic, etc. In the traditional engineering, we are faced with much lower levels of uncertainty, which enables us to successfully implement quality products by following the Big Plan Upfront.
Such approach always fails miserably in software, and yet we see, today in the year 2020, that majority of teams still fall for this trap of gap thinking.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
