The Silver Bullet or Why Software Is Bad
by Nexis at 6:04 pm EST, Dec 4, 2002

] "Abstract: There is something fundamentally wrong with
] the way we create software. This article describes a
] silver bullet solution to the problem of software
] reliability and productivity. The solution requires a
] fundamental change in the way we program our computers. I
] will argue that the main reason that software is so
] unreliable and so hard to produce has to do with a custom
] that is as old as the computer: the practice of using the
] algorithm as the basis of software construction. I will
] argue further that moving to a pure signal-based,
] synchronous software model will result in at least an
] order of magnitude improvement in both reliability and
] productivity."

Interesting and well written. Although I don't agree with everything it had to say, it was worth reading.
