The 1th chapter of the Reading notes of the People's Month myth tar Pits

What does this mean when you start to see the tar pits, and what does this have to do with the programming system? After reading the first chapter probably understand the meaning to express. The tar pits mean that even if you're strong enough, you can't get rid of the beam and sink to the bottom of the pit. The same is true of IT projects, whether the development of large software systems or small projects, will encounter many complex problems and factors, the project itself is a complex enough dynamic system, no optimal, only satisfied.

Through the evolution of the programming system can see the simple program has not been called as a system, programming system + programming products to constitute a programming system products, programming system products will be 9 times times the complexity of the general program. Only the programming system product is the real useful product, is the most system development goal.
