I've learned to always avoid saying "always"

Now I'm a pretty lazy person and am prepared to work quite hard in order to avoid work.

I can only think of so many good ideas in a week. Having other people contribute makes my life easier.

When you actually sit down to write some code, you learn things that you didn't get from thinking about them in modeling terms...there is a feedback process there that you can only really get at from executing some things and seeing what works

Comparing to another activity is useful if it helps you formulate questions, it's dangerous when you use it to justify answers.

The biggest issue on software teams is making sure everyone understands what everyone else is doing.

One of the big dangers is to pretend that you can follow a predictable process when you can't.
