Software is Hard

Kyle Wilson has a great article on software development, compromises, economics, complexity, lines of code, and why Software is Hard

I use "economics" the way I normally do though (which is not the way it usually is meant in RL, but possibly how it would be meant among economists). It's not just about money but about compromises among competing values and how different weights among the different values affect the outcome (which is usually also measured along several dimensions).
