Feed Description: common sense software development
The thought leaders in our industry and those of us leading software development teams on the ground are shockingly terrible at actually getting projects to a successful outcome. Depending on who you ask it would appear that as few as roughly one in four projects should be considered successful. Every one of us producing software professionally should be ashamed and embarrassed. It is unethical that we keep taking money and, for the most probable, case turn it into buggy, half working software that we force onto users. We then become insulted when such software is rightly rejected by those same users. We'll go so far as to even project the reason the software is so crappy back on to some external factor that we have no control over (of course). What is going on here?
