Software engineering as it's taught in universities simply doesn't work. It doesn't
produce software systems of high quality, and it doesn't produce them for low cost.
Sometimes, even when practiced rigorously, it doesn't produce systems at all.

That's odd, because in every other field, the term "engineering" is reserved for
methods that work.
