Interesting read. It's easy to fall under the impression that the problems we face as software developers are only encountered by developers if you don't have experience outside the industry. Because I get most of my informations from programming sources, it's always the same stories about bad software, wrong estimates, poor management. Sometimes, I ended up thinking: What is wrong with us? Can't we just be reasonable, responsible professionals like anybody else?

Well, apparently, we are very much like everybody else. Still trying to figure out what the hell we are doing, and how to do it.

Yes, we're just like everybody else! And also I think that when we developers view ourselves as unique professionals in a first-of-a-kind industry, we can't relate to other industries and learn on their example.
