Chapter Twenty-One. Alchemy

Q: What are the most exciting/promising software engineering ideas or techniques on the horizon?

A: I don't think that the most promising ideas are on the horizon. They are already here and have been here for years but are not being used properly.

We are in a position to transform the lead of average practice into the gold of best practice.
