What WWII Can Teach Us About Software Development
summary
Maginot Line gets bypassed through the Ardennes so a single hardened perimeter fails; Soviet layered trenches, anti‑tank ditches and mines show defense in depth stops breakthroughs; unexpected succession leaves Truman with four months to learn about the Manhattan Project before using nuclear weapons, so plan handovers and documentation; avoid sprint overreach and feature creep, aim for MVPs; leverage complementary strengths—US logistics and materiel tipped balance—and keep improvisation paths for odd, effective fixes.
