FAIL Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of failing
in this industry by doing it and helping others do it.
We are adding yet more bloated and abstract concepts that
are so complicated no one knows what they actually mean.
If they do mean anything at all.

Through this work we have come to value:

Fail over Win
#WTF over #FTW
ESBs over thoughtful architectures
Maven over sanity
Duct tape over maintainable code
Manual over automated
Writing silly manifestos over getting stuff done

That is, while we value the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
