I should probably wax poetic on software engineering in the Librem chat room I made, but none of the other members ever post a counterpoint. I have the same effect here, but do occasionally get a boost. Maybe if eveRyone is so agreeable, I should write a book, but OOA Book is pending and I haven't quite raised the courage to piss off my customers. What price courage? Many of us are unwilling to sacrifice meaningful employment in the name of software engineering rightousness, but...
...we'll still boost the cries of revolution. I think that at the core we all know that we know nothing, or at least know that we can prove nothing. Was Steve Mellor right, or was Robert C. Martin right? ( I know it was Steve, but I can't prove it in a manner that doesn't cost a huge amount of money.) That is the price we pay for not making software metrics universal. That is why I harp on software metrics. The function point data is relevant.
