Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Projects
Years ago, Patrick McKenzie, wrote an article titled Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names. The article inspired a short lived burst of other programming falsehoods. This is a very late entry in the genre, covering incorrect assumptions about software projects.
All of these assumptions are wrong. Try to make fewer of these assumptions when working on projects. Since you are always working on projects at work, always be questioning your assumptions about projects.
At best, projects are best guesses by well intended people. At their worst, projects can become meaningless busywork that is completely unrelated to any problems or desires at a company. The fewer false assumptions you buy into the more effective you will be.
