		<description><![CDATA[I was reading an article about why projects fail and found interesting points and the following list has been inspired by actual mistakes encountered in real-world systems projects.

1. Don’t use a specific methodology because coding is all that is really important.
2. Create the project plan by working backwards from a drop-dead system completion date.
3. Don’t bother with a data model. Just build whatever tables you need.
4. Use a Technical Lead that has never built a similar system. Hiring such talent is too expensive.
5. Hire forty developers to make the coding go faster.
6. Selecting wrong tools and technologies for development
7. Three months before the system goes live, assign one junior developer to handle the data migration.
8. Skip the testing phase because the project is way behind schedule.
9. Change the system to support critical new requirements discovered during final development.
10. Buy a commercial, off-the-shelf package and customize it... a lot.<div class="read_more"><a href="http://www.jawed.info/blog/2010/04/02/top-10-ways-that-guarantee-the-failure-of-a-project/">read more</a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading an article about Reasons to write bad code !!, the author was sharing his experience about having problems with some bad code, written by his senior colleague. He further elaborated that his fellow wrote bad code to avenge his company for stress and frustration. But I don't agree with it completely because developer alone can't be blamed for his bad code and there might be very few exceptions that will avenge the company. My argument is; <div class="read_more"><a href="http://www.jawed.info/blog/2008/07/16/quality-driven-development/">read more</a></div>]]></description>
