Hello everybody,
this blog has been dormant for quite a while now. Today, my buddy Robin tweeted on a blog post which was imply too true and too good not to share. This prompted me to rethink my decision to abandon blogging and get this blog going again.
So without much further ado, here’s the promised link:
http://jamesmorle.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/right-practice/
James is spot-on with this one. Adding to his line “Best Practices are being used as an alternative to rational thought.” I would like to point out one more thing which I see happening more and more often: Best Practices are being used as an excuse for not doing proper analyses or worse, justifications for sub-par implementations.
Situational context can have a profound impact on the basic reasoning underyling a practice. Make sure to take it into account when choosing your Right practices.
See ya!
