It's a good point, I keep seeing it as building-like but just like a separate concepts on structure and interior design, I'll reflect about that later :)

The “building”-like software perception leads to the idea of a hard thing, something static. That vision has been coined a long ago, and consolidated in the 90’s, when you got “final” releases that shouldn’t change. Any changes would come in the next releases.

I've argued against this persistent Taylorism in the software world almost endlessly, at all levels.

Do you have any sources for when this was consolidated in the 1990s?
