Do you agree software development is difficult ? Does this example illustrate ?

Your boss fears assassination and you're therefore installing a system of surface to air missiles on the roof of his house.





Your boss helpfully supplies a "salvo sequence timing" computer program.





Your incorporate the salvo sequence timing into the system and get the whole system accredited.





The whole system is working beautifully, it even fends off a couple of assassination attempts.





You take some hols, leaving the system with a very senior, supposedly capable, person.





Being very senior, the person has unfettered access to the software.





The system is doctored during a supposed upgrade.





The salvo sequence timing logic is doctored.





The supposedly accredited salvo sequence timing software is doctored to "reflect the released code".





Now you have disagreement between yourself and the organisation who accredited the system, over the version of the salvo sequence timing program that was accredited.

You got lost ?
Reply:there are better illustrations...





Though as a software developer I find it very entertaining and funny.





Thanks
