NO MOVING PARTS

Data systems engineer Francis Hsu says that Software Architecture Axiom 1
is: "No Moving Parts," and argues that "if the IT industry wants to improve
data reliability and lower data error rates further, whatever future systems
and applications architecture we implement must consider lowering the
frequency and necessity of human data inputs. In this regard, no moving
parts (NMP) is the ultimate goal, but less moving parts (LMP) is the way to
get there."
