I would like to recomend an article in the November 1987 issue of Unix Review
for everyone's reading.  The article:

			No Silver Bullets
			      by
		      Frederick P. Brooks, Jr
		      Kenan Professor of CS at
			 UNC-Chapel Hill

"The frustrations of software development are often nightmarish.  But search
as we might, we'll never come upon a single development - be it in technology
or in management - that of itself will provide an order-of-magnitude
productivity improvement"
