Superdistribution (Brad Cox) - book review (461 words) |
 | Cox sees a fundamental difference between the efficiency of modern industrial manufacturing and the failures of the software "industry". |
 | (Cox uses the introduction of standardised parts into weapons built for the United States military as an example.) With software this means a focus on re-usable software components and a shift from a process-centric approach to a product-centric one. |
 | However much you credit Cox's diagnosis of the ailment afflicting the software industry and his suggestions for a cure, if you are interested in the future of the information economy then Superdistribution is worth a look. |

 | Brad: Since there is a movie and spin off planned, I hope that break happens as soon as we're done with that. |
 | Brad: There are a lot of people who have a narrow vision of what Stargate is or should be. |
