"Requirements gathering and analysis needs multiple talent to be successful, including at least industry knowlwdge and IT knowledge. Please see Lecture Notes on Requirements Engineering (when I teach this course)."
"This is the bread and butter of our field. While constantly improving development environments and programming languages are being created, this area still lacks discipline and good guideline. Much of the programming effort is still vey much dependent on 'raw' talent."
