Solutions in second book?

Some of the readers have asked me why the book doesn't solve the problems discussed in the book. Why did you not offer a solution to the problems? Are you planning that as your second book? While you (author) poke fun at our industry (software) you should have elaborated on how we can solve these problems. 

First and foremost...I'm not writing a second book...This is my first and last..."That's I.T" ;-) 

Importantly, I'm not a baba (Avatar of God) to solve the industry problems by weaving a magic wand. Most of us have got used to fast food. We want instant solutions and gratification. For the rest, it is simple. Let's "Google" and find the solution. Book is meant to help each one of us introspect and find those solutions to the problems. This is not a "self-help" book :-) Book holds a mirror to the industry and highlights the problems. 

Also, which solution in this world is constant. Like problems, solutions too need to change. I don't want to write a book every time there is a different solution to the problem. Lot of authors make the mistake of solving the problems. Who are they to solve somebody's problem? This is not about fence sitting & not sticking one's neck out. If I can help everyone introspect, then they can solve the problems on their own. Like the famous "non-vegetarian" saying "Give fish to a hungry person and you feed them for a day. Teach them how to catch fish and you feed them for a life time".  

Go ahead and solve the problems. We are holding the mirror for you. 

Thank you in advance!!!
