《梦断代码》作者罗森伯格对OSAF主持的Chandler项目进行田野调查，跟踪经年，试图借由Chandler的开发过程揭示软件开发中的一些根本性大问题。本书是讲一事，也是讲百千事；是写一软件，也是写百千软件；是写一群人，也是写百千万人。任何一个在软件领域稍有经验的技术人员看完本书，必掩卷长叹：做软件难。软件乃是人类自以为最有把握，实则最难掌控的技术。("West side code" author Rosenberg under the auspices of the OSAF Chandler project fieldwork, tracking for years, trying to borrow some of the fundamental problems in the development of software development process revealed by Chandler. This book is about a thing, but also about hundreds of thousands of things; write a software, but also write hundreds of software is written; a group of people, millions of people are writing. Any technical staff have experience slightly in the software field through this book, will sigh: do software difficult to book. Software is the technology that man thinks he is most sure of, but he is most difficult to control.)
