The protection from Dragons and prevention of Dragons' growth has one disadvantage. It cannot solve current problems. To overcome today's Dragon you must begin yesterday. The knowledge about Dragons cannot bring you a big help in a trouble of Dragon War. To save resources in the future you must spend resources today. This may demoralise somebody who hope in a quick improvement. Unfortunately good luck is not such frequent as bad luck. Rapid changes are possible. Most probably these will be changes from bad to worse.

In case you don't believe in a magical help, you must prepare yourself to long work. You'll go forward step by step. You reduce the complexity of your future work. The improvement is systematic. Your target is the absence of bad decisions. You cannot measure how many bad decisions you haven't made. You won't get impressionable results. You have nothing to show for the people that believe in Silver Bullets. Of course nothing except the results of your work.

The software developers are paid not for code writing, not for drawing diagrams and not for sitting for monitor. They are paid for making decisions. All other activities are assigned to support this process. If the developers make bad decisions, the money and time are wasted and the effectiveness of other things is not important. The Dragons disturb the root process of software development. This is a significant ground to pay attention to these virtual software monsters.
