Welcome to Metaphor Crash. This blog is about a lot of things, but generally it is about software development and, more precisely, things that can go wrong with software development projects. I have a long history of projects that go wrong and I have, through painful experience, noticed patterns that may help identify ways to avoid it happening in the future.
