Coding from scratch

Via Artima.com, Coding from Scratch, "A Conversation with Virtual Reality Pioneer Jaron Lanier, Part One".

I think the whole way we write and think about software is wrong. If you look at how things work right now, it's strange -- nobody -- and I mean nobody -- can really create big programs in a reliable way. If we don't find a different way of thinking about and creating software, we will not be writing programs bigger than about 10 million lines of code, no matter how fast our processors become.
