Festering Pustuals

As I ponder more and more about the issues faces with Software Development, I can't help but agree with this quote. I think more damaging is that there is only a small percentage of people who even recognize that sickness abounds...

We know about as much about software quality problems as they knew about the Black Plague in the 1600s. We've seen the victims' agonies and helped burn the corpses. We don't know what causes it; we don't really know if there is only one disease. We just suffer -- and keep pouring our sewage into our water supply.
