Software development is often compared to building a house due to similarities such as design and maintenance. However, this analogy is somehow lacking since it overlooks one critical detail: software is in a constant state of change. This continuous evolution is the essence of software—if it isn't evolving, it’s either obsolete or soon will be. This is where the “soft” in software comes from: software is easy to change compared to hardware, which, like a house, is rigid. Software development is more like gardening. Just like a garden, a software system is continuously changing, evolving, and growing. Software is all about change!
