The practice of building software is a “new kid on the block” technology. Though it may not seem this way for those who have been in the field for most of their careers, in the overall scheme of professions, software builders are relative “newbies.”
In the short history of the software field, a lot of facts have been identified, and a lot of fallacies promulgated. Those facts and fallacies are what this book is about.
There’s a problem with those facts–and, as you might imagine, those fallacies. Many of these fundamentally important facts are learned by a software engineer, but over the short lifespan of the software field, all too many of them have been forgotten. While reading Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering, you may experience moments of “Oh, yes, I had forgotten that,” alongside some “Is that really true?” thoughts.
The author of this book doesn’t shy away from controversy. In fact, each of the facts and fallacies is accompanied by a discussion of whatever controversy envelops it. You may find yourself agreeing with a lot of the facts and fallacies, yet emotionally disturbed by a few of them! Whether you agree or disagree, you will learn why the author has been called “the premier curmudgeon of software practice.”
These facts and fallacies are fundamental to the software building field–forget or neglect them at your peril!

看过大半的 Facts 之后就看不下去了. 年轻人看这种书, 要么就创业去, 要么余下的职业生涯就以看 Dilbert 为乐直到转行吧.

55 facts and 10 fallacies就姑且称之为“常识”吧,比如"不同人的工作效率差异可以达到数以十倍记",软件life circle的各个方面都有谈到。不过问题就是很多人常常忽视它们的存在,至少作者这样认为,所以就有了这本书,温故而知新。
