I've found that a lot of people want the guidance of best practices (and I freely admit that when you've been trained on best practices/hard guidelines it can be scary leaving that framework to make your own judgment call), but in software, that can too easily turn into a straitjacket. | |

There are many "practices which have proven good in some contexts, but may not be good in others". No best practices. No silver bullets. No magic numbers. We each have to decide what works well in our specific situation, at our specific point in time. allthingsquality.com/2010/04/… BTW - what's the best color? | |
