On the Origin of Species (or more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life),[3] published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.[4] Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species

He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors,[5] and in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of Evolution resulted from a process that he called Natural Selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in Selective Breeding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin (author of On the Origin of Species) (more)

Tom De Marco writes (pdf): My early Metrics book, Controlling Software Projects: Management, Measurement, and Estimates (1986), played a role in the way many budding software engineers quantified work and planned their projects. (Software Engineering) In my reflective mood, I'm wondering, was its advice correct at the time, is it still relevant, and do I still believe that metrics are a must for any successful software development effort? My answers are no, no, and no... The book for me is a curious combination of generally true things written on every page but combined into an overall message that's wrong... Strict control is something that matters a lot on relatively useless Projects and much less on useful projects... To my mind, the question that's much more important than how to control a software project is, why on earth are we doing so many projects that deliver such marginal value?... For the past 40 years, for example, we've tortured ourselves over our inability to finish a software project on time and on budget (Project Failure). But as I hinted earlier, this never should have been the supreme goal. The more important goal is (Disruptive) transformation... (more)
