Ken,

Thanks for the quick reply. The comments are definitely interesting coming from a respectable executive in the software industry. My only few questions are:

Isn’t software deadlines a stigma in the software industry as a whole tho? Isn’t the ultimate question is “When is software truly done?”.

Also, since the industry moves fast , isn’t 6 months too long of a time period besides the software becomes obsolete?

I find these issues quite interesting, and it may be a path I may take in the future. It seems like large corporations like IBM, Microsoft, and Apple all seem to have similar issues. I’m sure Sierra had problems dealing with buggy O/S’s during the days of game development.

The history software and computers in general has been quite interesting, if anything… what if plumbing had bugs in it? What a mess that would be…
