I had a thought the other night that poverty reduction and the MDG’s are a lot like software development.

1) They are both involve incredibly complicated and interrelated systems
2) Companies are always hyping their products but failing to live up to their promises, just like countries promising more and better aid and development funds but often failing to deliver.
3) Both have grass roots movements.
4) Patents create problems in both areas.
5) Both are very costly to do and often miss deadlines.
