The Fallacies of Build Engineering

Thinking in lines of the fallacies of networking, I could quickly dump my thoughts and experiences of build engineering.

1. Builds always complete on time, as planned.
2. Build systems are easy to replicate.
3. Build systems are very reliable and are up when I need them.
4. File conflicts are easy to merge.
5. Builds can be fully automated.
6. Sanity testing of the build can be fully automated.
7. When a build fails, I can always get hold of the engineer and get it fixed right away.
8. Code is going to be platform independent, for ever.
