I think the main problem is that writing good software is not a commodity. There is no process or best practices that can ensure a successful software project. Especially management is desperately seeking for a way to commoditize software &

If you are the only one that is seeing the upcoming failure, this can mean 2 things: 1) You are wrong and paranoid. The project will be delivered with some hurdles but will not be catastrophic at all. Try to make sure that your concerns are

Sounds like you are searching for a magical process. There is simply not a (light or fat) method that will fix your problems. Focus on the product, your people and the market. Defining the next process will be a waste of time.

This is so hypocritical. What it actually says is: world is full of politics and bullshit. We just bomb the ones we want and call them enemies while we call others friends because it is better in our intere$t.

The answer is twofold: 1. There must be a reason that the clients expect that a fixed quote must be possible. If you are developing something that is already existing, it is very very difficult to convince that you really can't know how muc

By good, it is often meant to be in the 5% of the standard normal distribution. So "good" is an infinite shifting condition. When there are more developers, it becomes just harder to be good enough. This scares therefore often novice off. T

This is exactly a prejudice that I often encounter and must overcome every time. From my childhood on, I was playing around with electrical circuits. It was just a game for me to switch things on and off etc. Then I got my shiny new PC with
