End of software? No

What happened to software? Why is there so few creative software (2010)? Are we at the end of software? What are the forces which led to this situation, looking like a bit step backward to the epoch of non-programmable accounting machines? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, and a very simple one: make good software. With invention. Developing models and abstractions. It is difficult but absolutely possible.

Programming methods

Wise words:

Silver bullets don't exist. Each project has unique characteristics and, therefore, needs a specific development method.
Since each project is unique, shelf solutions rarely are optimal. That being so, in order to get to the best software development method, you must design your own method according to the characteristics of your own project.
To design your own method, learn from all existent approaches, processes, frameworks, methods, and practices.
Keep it simple at first. Start using it ASAP and improve it based on actual feedback.
Someone must be in charge of orchestrating everything related to your brand new development method.
Continual continuous improvement is crucial.
