Architect Thoughts

Less is better when it doesn't introduce complexity

Less is not always good

Simplicity is a goal that is always the hardest to reach

Simplicity does not mean less

The more I learn the less I know

If it is not broken, it may still need fixed

Attention to detail is the drab part of our job that produces excellence

It doesn't work as part of a solution until it is working

Any process can be implemented, but until it is institutionalize it isn't productive

Any process that can't be institutionalized is a process anti-pattern

Everything we do is a process that at some degree never ends, but always evolves or regresses

People are unpredictable and cannot be considered constants in process institutionalization

Nothing new is ever created, it is only discovered

There are always others doing what I do, better than I do it

Knowledge without wisdom is dangerous

Knowledge is temporary, freely available, and eventually worthless

Wisdom is a gift that always costs, and is priceless

Although the customer is always right, that doesn't mean they aren't clueless

Sometimes the best thing for a project is for me to leave it

Faith and Family always come first, there is always another project
