in reply to Selling swimsuits to a drowning man

So, is “the blind leading the blind” an accepted business-practice these days?

I'm a management minor. It's just typical management BS. "If you can't fascinate them with facts, baffle them with bullshit." This is more common in larger companies, especially Fortune 500 companies. I'm lucky that I have a manager that actually understands programming a bit, or at least takes my advice about strategic directions.

    If software were something that you could see, like a building, or especially if it (being a machine ...) could be seen “whirling dangerously with a thousand-and-one rapidly moving parts,” then our approach to constructing it would be altogether changed.
