Calls for engineering standards
“Software engineering standards must be codified, and programmers must strictly adhere to those standards. Writing software programs is no less important than building a bridge, and it should be treated as such. It is time to recognize that software engineering is no longer the highly individualistic enterprise that it was in the dawn of the computer age.”
Leonard Lee, “Computers out of control”, BYTE Magazine vol. 17, February 1992
