Can there ever be a "silver bullet" for software development? <p>I recently read the great article by Fred Brooks, "No Silver Bullet".</p> <p>He argues that there hasn't been a silver bullet that made software devlopment remarkably easier and that there never will be one.</p> <p>His argument is very convincing and I certainly agree with it.</p> <p>What is the stack overflow community's take on it? Is it possible for a silver bullet to one day come along and slay the software development werewolf?</p> <p>For more information on the article itself, see this article: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet</a></p>
