Sad loss. One might wonder how much faster technology’s state of the art would have progressed if we had more people like Fred Brooks working in the field.
Haha, that's a great come back! Thanks for cheering me up. :D
I mentioned Fred Brook in a comment just earlier in the week. The Mythical Man Month is such an obviously and well known trap it's still surprising so many projects still fall into it.
Whilst his work is mostly seen as for software engineers, really it should be more well known by project and senior managers in general.
