The Mythical Man-Month Chapter 1 -Tar Pit | The Mythical Man-Month Audible
This video is about chapter 1 of The Mythical Man-Month. It is about software engineering and
is a very logical follow-on to my series about people where which are in a similar vein.
Chapter one is called the tar pit and is what is being referenced by the illustration on the cover which is a mural of La Brea Tar Pits but before we get to that this chapter starts out with a quote which is a Dutch proverb and says a ship on the beach is a lighthouse to the sea, no explanation is given but I suggest that the adage means to say that we may learn from the mistakes of those who went before us.
The Tar Pits though in prehistoric times some of the fiercest and most intimidating creatures from that era met their untimely demise --is not from combat but from being dragged down slowly but surely into the muck of tar large-scale systems programming is analogous to that and we are all trying to emerge unscathed anytime we try to get out entirely.
Some kind of blocker pulls us back it's a sticky situation and we might best be able to understand it if we start out by examining the joys and woes of system programming as we call it is distinct from programming because there is a lot surrounding the program that makes it a system.

I've had a bit of trouble obtaining the book, so I appreciate your summary of it. But on top of that, I appreciate your perspective on the difference between when this book was written and how we operate today.

Awesome thank you for this, i drive long hours and I mix reading with hearing this. I really love your opinions and explanations I have one suggestion: Using a two speech system, for example, a woman (or man) different from your tone, read the book, and when we need your opinion, you step in with your voice.
