[edit] Beyond Silver Bullet
24May06: This article was created in June 2004 by moving the History section from the article "Software Engineering" which contained the "No Silver Bullet" era. I believe the era should be more limited, since the expression is like saying, in business management, still "No Free Lunch" or, in world politics, an era of still "No World Peace" yet. I am contemplating "Goto Considered Harmful" for the 1970s, in emphasizing structured languages, and, for the 2000s, "Lightweight Methodologies" as the era titles. -Wikid77 21:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] java
I am a little skeptical about the assertion that Java, at least in that namesake and incarnation, was touted as a 'silver bullet' in 1989.
[edit] Major Developments
What's the deal with the "Role Of Men"? Was there actually something informative there, and was later vandalized, or does men being cameramen for "Girls Gone Wild" video ACUTALLY represent a breakthrough in software engineering in some intricate way?
