Abstract
Software development has been often considered as a “standard” manufacturing activity, whose actions can be sequenced and optimized quite like the production of cars. From this the “Waterfall Model” of software production was defined. But, like most human activities, even what people consider a “simple” production of a Cappuccino, cannot be represented as such, and software is definitely more difficult than making a Cappuccino; in particular, in software three major problems occur: irreversibility, uncertainty, and complexity.

Notes
- 1.
Master in the Science of Cappuccino.
- 2.
Professional psychic in general are better in this, since they are able to express their predictions in a very dubitative form, which makes them useless but rarely falsifiable.
