On: Against Best Practices

[resonious]

If not, then what was created with best practices in the first place?

If we can agree that most large, financially successful software projects are of questionable quality, then either

- they used best practices and yet they still suck, OR

- they did not use best practices, but are widely successful anyway.

So no matter how you look at it, software best practices just haven't panned out.
