Let's Stop Wasting $78 Billion a Year - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT - CIO Magazine Oct 15,2001 - From the article: "There are, of course, other reasons for all the bugs. IT professionals point to a whole litany of causes: bloatware, with all its useless bells and whistles; programmers working in isolation, blissfully ignorant of how people will ultimately be using their software on a daily basis; reusable components that may already contain bugs; an absence of agreed upon professional standards; and developers who take shortcuts to meet deadlines during development." Perhaps there are better ways to assure appropriate outputs, encourage effective resource behaviors, or deal with deadlines.
