Thanks, Tom.

My good friend Steve Colwell sent me a link to a Viewpoints column by Tom DeMarco from the July/August 2009 issue of IEEE Software magazine. Tom DeMarco is of course an industry legend for books such as Peopleware, and is one of the founding fathers of the so-called-discipline of Software Engineering. In his column, Software Engineering: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone?, he basically throws in the towel on much that management has held sacred for the past 40 years.
