Development Wisdoms:
•Facebook wasn't built in a day.
•Laziness is your best friend. Never do twice what you can automate once.
•Test twice, deploy changes once.
•Debugging becomes significantly easier if you first admit that you are the problem.
•If it’s hard to test, it’s probably hard to change.
•Make it work first, before you make it fast.
•Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
•Sleeping is for people who don't have deadlines.
•A time saving “work a round” will seldom save time.
•The user must come first, but is rarely right.
•When developing a report, users rarely know what they want until you show them.
