Your books and writings, along with Ed Yourdon's have been the guiding light for past 18 years of my career. Thank you for that. It seems the current generation has forgotten your lessons and has refused to learn from mistakes made. How do you propose we make it relevant to the 2-second-attention-span generation?

Tom DeMarco I'm much less discouraged than you seem to be. All progress is incremental; the changes I've seen in organizational structure over the years make me feel that Peopleware and Slack are both having huge impact. The still very fat royalty statements show that the books continue to sell incredibly well. Same for The Deadline. As to the occasional setback, it just proves that big problems are big.

Best Regards,
