Book Reading : The Mythical Man Month
This is a book on Software Engineering by Fred Brooks. It was first published in 1975. I have just started to read it. I am finding very witty remarks by the author. Some of them are copied here.
An omlette, promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices - wait or eat it raw. Software customers have had the same choices.
Adding manpower to a late software project, makes it later.
