  1. The Second-System Effect By Adam Hoffman

  2. First System • Spare • Clean • Created with great restraint • Doesn't know what he's doing

  3. Second System • Over-Designed • Dangerous • All the frills they wish the first one had • Confidence • “Big-Pile” - Ovid

  4. Consider the IBM 7090 “This is an upgrade, a second system for the very successful and clean 704. The operation set is so rich and profuse that only about half of it was regularly used.” (Brooks 55)‏ Example

  5. You don't have the time nor the need for all the little tiny frills you would like to add. Talk with your employer and see exactly what they would be interested in. Keep in mid the man power and time constraints. Try to stay focused on the core of what the program is meant to do. Moral of the Story
