• STSC CrossTalk – Good Old Advice – Aug 2008
  I was looking for more recent articles referencing Frederick Brooks "Plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow" quote from Mythical Man-month. I found this excellent paper from Alistair Cockburn, one of my favorite software engineering writers.

• Mythical Man-Month
  "Chemical engineers learned long ago that a process that works in the laboratory cannot be implemented in a factory in one step. An intermediate step called the pilot plant is necessary….In most [software] projects, the first system is barely usable. It may be too slow, too big, awkward to use, or all three. There is no alternative but to start again, smarting but smarter, and build a redesigned version in which these problems are solved…. Delivering the throwaway to customers buys time, but it does so only at the cost of agony for the user, distraction for the builders while they do the redesign, and a bad reputation for the product that the best redesign will find hard to live down. Hence, plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow. "
