Aquí con ustedes algunos proverbios de la ingeniería de software y que no solo aplican para esto sino en nuestro diario vivir en lo que sea que hagamos. A mi me morieron el tapete varias de ellas.

“If you make a general statement, a programmer says, ‘Yes, but…’
while a designer says, ‘Yes, and…’” by André Bensoussan

Create constancy of purpose.
Adopt the new philosophy.
Cease dependence on mass inspection to achieve quality.
Minimize total cost, not initial price of supplies.
Improve constantly the system of production and service.
Institute training on the job.
Institute leadership.
Drive out fear.
Break down barriers between departments.
Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and numerical targets.
Eliminate work standards (quotas) and management by objective.
Remove barriers that rob workers, engineers, and managers of their right to pride of workmanship.
Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement.
Put everyone in the company to work to accomplish the transformation.

The Troops Know

The schedule doesn’t have enough time for maintenance in it.
A lot of bugs get past the tests.
Most old code can’t be maintained

To go faster, slow down. Everybody who knows about orbital mechanics understands that. — Scott Cherf

Everybody Knows:

Discipline is the best tool.
Design first, then code.
Don’t patch bugs out, rewrite them out.
Don’t test bugs out, design them out.

Everybody Knows:
If you don’t understand it, you can’t program it.
If you didn’t measure it, you didn’t do it.

Y esta fue una de las que más me gusto:

Software is Too Important to be Left to Programmers, by Meilir Page-Jones.

Otra de mis favoritas:

“If you think good architecture is expensive, try bad architecture.” — Brian Foote and Joseph Yoder

do it
do it right
do it right now

It is not enough to do your best: you must know what to do, and THEN do your best. — W. Edwards Deming

Enjoy!
