Laurence Tratt: What Factors Explain the Nature of Software?

The beauty of finished software
In a world where constant change is the norm, finished software —a software you can use forever with no unneeded change —provides a breath of fresh air. It’s a reminder that reliability, consistency, and user satisfaction can coexist in the realm of software development.
