About Ravenflow
"The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding precisely what to
build. No other part of the conceptual work is as difficult as establishing the detailed
technical requirements, including all the interfaces to people, to machines, and to other
software systems. No other part of the work so cripples the resulting system if done
wrong. No other part is more difficult to rectify later."
—Frederick Brooks, No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering,
1987.
