It still is very interesting to learn about how the google code shop is run.
Uncertainty, complexity, and hard non-deterministic problems
Posted: August 6, 2006 Filed under: building ventures, programming, technology | Tags: management, programming Comments OffI came across validation on the thought that people management is a hard problem.
From Bruce Eckel’s blog, “Deterministic Software Development“. Bruce talks about management thinking, about why Software development cannot be included in deterministic set of problems and finally about why the people factor in software development is key. He suggests that looking at it in a deterministic sense is a dead-end approach.
