Abstract: There was once a time when developing software required only
three main ingredients: a user with a need, a computer, and a
programmer. Once these three ingredients came together, the resulting
team could largely ignore everything in the outside world
except the occasional need for pizza. Later, both the sizes and goals of such
teams grew considerably, but often the insular attitude remained. Needs,
computers, and software developers still went into a big black box, and sometime later, if the project was fortunate, the
required software emerged as if by magic.
