Application software vs system boundaries. (Score 2, Informative)

What I find laughable about this post and the Atlantic Systems Guild in general is that they seem to think that a system is only about software. A system is about far more than just application software, especially in a enterprise production environment where things like security, system monitoring, back-up/restore, operations etc are just as important as any end user experience.

A pattern that is probably completely beyond their competence horizon is where the application developers do not know where the boundaries of the system are.

I'd call this waltzing in the dark.
