A technical paper included in this book borrows Aristotle’s terms of “essence” and “accident” to distinguish between difficulties in designing conceptual constructs and difficulties in representing those conceptual constructs. That chapter of this book argues for the unlikelihood of finding a “silver bullet” to achieve a order-of-magnitude improvement in productivity based on the author's experience at IBM. This book put forth its author’s namesake law that “Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.” For 10 points, name this seminal book on software engineering by Fred Brooks, titled after a “mythical” unit of work done by a person in a month.
