@patio11 My theory is that movies don't have edge cases. There's no "I clicked the link, hit back, refreshed and it broke Avengers 4" -
@patio11 Also, with movies there's a firm end date. With software, the larger vision is always expanding and changing with how people use it - 1 more reply

@patio11 that is a lot of it. They can throw money at VFX shops. Mythical Man Month doesn’t apply since shots don’t “interact” like software -
@patio11 also the release dates do get pushed back often, and smaller movies don’t even get distribution deals until they’re done.

@patio11@steveklabnik I suspect movie moving parts are much simpler and have much simpler interactions than software moving parts -
@patio11@steveklabnik also: when do you ever discover late in the game that you have to make these other 3 movies as dependencies?
