The Big Picture

Joel on Software is one of my favorite programmers blogs – he always has good advice and is entertaining to read. His latest post is a fairly damning book review with a few good insights about common problems in software projects.

This is a particularly dangerous trap when it comes to software development. You get some big picture idea in your head for what you want to do, and it all seems so crystal clear that it doesn’t even seem like you need to design anything. You can just dive in and start implementing your vision.
