21. Assumptions to be at least
discussed
Waterfall method is best when you
cannot afford to learn form your
mistakes: you do not design
software for a plane in Agile
manner! (Alon Salant)
Shit happens!
We must learn from our mistakes even
when we make our best to minimize
them!

38. Ithaca
When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your
path,
if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the fierce Poseidon you will never
encounter,
if you do not carry them within your soul,
if your soul does not set them up before
you.
…
