Software Economics is about the costs of developing software and how (and how not) to reduce those costs.
It’s also about what makes software valuable, and how (and how not) to make it more valuable.
This blog is the result of musings on the subject that I’ve had over a 40+ year career in software, and some recent, intense investigations.
I hope that it will help me organize my thoughts and focus my investigations.
I also hope it will provoke some good comments and new ideas from readers.
It’s based on the following hypotheses and questions—and no doubt will surface others.
- Most companies are not very good at developing software—but some are great. What can we learn from the great ones?.
- Most programmers are not very good at developing software—but some are great. What can we learn from the great ones?
- Most companies that are trying to improve software development are going about it the wrong way—but some are doing it well. What can we learn from them.
- How would an individual (me, for example) go about dramatically improving their own software economics?
- How would a manager go about it?
