Software engineering is a social activity. Find out why in this short presentation that discusses the Three Laws of Software Engineering and the human factors of programmers.

4. Three Laws of Software Engineering 1. A software engineer must design for change. 2. A software engineer must obey orders given by his or her manager except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A software engineer must protect his or her own continued employment, even if this conflicts with the First or Second Law.
