UCOSP status report #2

I have been spending this week to get myself familiar with Microsoft Visual Studio and its .NET components. Such as using debugger, watching tutorial videos and demos of how to use the tool to write C code. Next week goal: Build Ingres.

Human factor in software engineering

Stressed and unpleasant relationships among co-workers always brings down productivity. As quoted from my professor in one of my small scale project course: Projects are very unlikely to fail on technology, but on human.

The sad thing is, if solving human-related problem is ever a logical one, then it must be NP hard, thus P != NP. In another words, complicated. It's the thing that we programmers are usually bad at.

A friend of mine and I were having a conversation some days ago about the human factor in software engineering, and about leadership in such projects, from there we pulled up this post. The leader of the project team is like every other manager, facing new problems on top of bugs in their code everyday.
