9. The rôle and duties of a software engineer Fred Brooks, “No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering”. IEEE Computer, 1987 “The essence of a software entity is a construct of interlocking concepts: data sets, relationships among data items, algorithms, and invocations of functions. The hard part of building software is the specification, design, and testing of this conceptual construct, not the labor of representing it and testing the fidelity of the representation. Building software will always be hard.”
