The Hyperdimensional Tar Pit.

The article focuses on the amount of time it takes for a computer program to make it to market. It comments on Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.'s book "The Mythical Man-Month," published in 1975, concerning the magnitude of effort that goes from delivering to market a computer program, a programming product...

      ab: The article focuses on the amount of time it takes for a computer program to make it to market. It comments on Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.'s book "The Mythical Man-Month," published in 1975, concerning the magnitude of effort that goes from delivering to market a computer program, a programming product, and a programming system. It mentions the need for programmers to include documentation, error checking, and ensure algorithmic assumptions will cover intended use. It talks about the increased complexity of ensuring programs meet standards compliance and are ready for international markets and states that computer security is just an aspect of quality control.
