Orson Scott Card on How Software Companies Die: “The shock is greater for the coder, though. He suddenly finds that alien creatures control his life. Meetings, Schedules, Reports.”This one is old enough, 1995, that I figure everyone has read it long ago, but it’s still a neat re-read today. Although it is normally categorized as a humor piece, there are plenty of grains of truth.
