When you are struggling with academic writing, your professors try to motivate you with completely useless advice: practice, research, improve your vocabulary and you'll do just fine. Their intentions are good, but that "strategy" never works in practice.

Furthermore, every detail of the inner workings of the software will be well known to the development team.
