I'm kind of bothered by a lack of rigour and science in general software engineering disciplines. The vast majority of decisions seems to be made subjectively that any objective criteria. Also industry is very bad at documenting it's processes and experiences to the community, most documents if any are available to the company internally only.

Also detailed histories of the devdlopment of large and complex software needs to be written and studied, but I just don't see it happening.

I wish I had more time to do that. I work at a feature factory.

At least for the written part there's the "Architecture of open source applications" series.
