even atomic number

Software also lacks a well defined atomic unit of work — even though we can apply various measures, such as lines-of-code, number of classes, number of function points, number of bugs, etc.

即便我们可以采用不同的测量方式，例如代码行数、类的数量、函数指针的数量、系统漏洞的数量，等等，软件还是缺乏一种定义良好的原子结构。

This is because even though z, the atomic number is still increasing, we are also getting further away from the nucleus.

从有效核电量方面来想一想为什么，这是因为，尽管，Z，原子序数依然在变大，但我们同时也在离原子核越来越远。
