My own feeling is that: What is it about building software in 1996 that is different from building factories in 1936, so that a new design paradigm must be invented? Did factory components have reuse, did their components have interfaces separate from implementation, did they have a class hierarchy? If they didn't, why didn't they? If they did then how did they build these things without Booch and company? Matt Young
