Even flawless coding, applications still depend on software and code developed by other coders. Do Not Wait Until Your Application is in Production.

Technical entrepreneurs love to compare the number of features in their product to competitors, and they love to keep adding features -- just because they can. Even worse, this “feature creep” often makes the final product late to market, sluggish and more expensive than competition. Define and enforce role and decision authorities.
