We’ve had a bad habit at our house over the years. The connection with software development/maintenance is probably obvious. Tying Up Loose Ends in Software. Keeping code clean at all times really ought to be considered baseline job performance for a software engineer. Tying Up Loose Ends at Home.

I remember joining a team in the late 1970s that supported an application used worldwide by a large corporation. The team resolved to drive that number down. It’s amusing until one reflects on the potential consequences when a large proportion of software we depend on for everyday life is of this quality.

In working with technical people at the individual and team levels, I often find attitudes that pull toward one extreme or the other: Either our work is inherently uninteresting, and we’re only in it for the paycheck; or our work is a boundless source of joy, learning, and achievement through which we can transcend the human condition.

We all dream of reaching maximum success with our teams and projects, even though project failure is common.

If, for example, a project manager believes a member of his or her team is a fast and effective worker, each time that team member works fast and effectively or is told by a colleague about the work that has been done fast and effectively, the project manager will consider his or her belief to be well-founded.

What if, instead of getting larger and more brittle over time, making changes more risky, your software could get more modular and simpler, increasing the safety of the developers working on the code? The key to soft software is focusing on creating that safety first. How many of you used to be a developer?
