Manufacturing? Construction?

Manufacturing and construction are linear processes

Software development is a creative process and it is very much non-linear

Software isn’t Built, it’s InventedCoding is a creative problem. Every time a developer writes code, he is taking a non-deterministic path towards an unknown solution — a unique solution that has never been created before. If the work weren’t unique, he wouldn’t need to write it, he’d simply copy and paste it.
