Why There Is Never Going To Be A Silver Bullet
There is no single, best way to solve business problems. Or career problems. Or project problems. Or marriage problems. Or any one type of problems.
You’d think that more than two decades after Fred Brooks told us that, at least in software, we would know that there is no silver bullet. The reason is simple:
Life is complex.
Most of the people shilling you an answer don’t even see that their methods or approach is just that: a single approach. They have a particular way of seeing the world and come hell or high-water, you are supposed to follow it.
The problem is that this just doesn’t work.
Why?
Because there is no overarching meta method.
