I wouldn't say it is how not to develop it. As an example of how not to 
develop software, try the UK National Health Service software project, the 
UK Benefits system software, and IIRC the UK IRS software, all very large 
software projects that have gone way over budget, don't provide anything 
like the required functionality, and are at a point where they won't ever do 
so. I suspect between them they have a far higher cost per line than the 
shuttle software, and won't ever work.
