01/13/11 “Soft” in Software is an Illusion
One of the biggest fallacies of our time is that software is indeed “soft”. For the last twenty years I have continually heard that it’s hardware that costs money, that it’s hardware that adds value. I once worked in a development group that had 30 people working on hardware and 120 people working on software and yet the organisation’s whole attitude was that they developed and sold hardware. They priced their product in terms of the hardware features and options that they offered. And yet the vast majority of their development costs were software...
