Guiding Principles for Software Projects

If you haven't seen this blog post from Patrick Cauldwell, you should. In it, he lays out the guiding principles he's following on the project he's working on. (Credit to Scott Hanselman, where I found the link.)

Take a gander at it. It's a truly excellent and thorough list of principles, and it's one I plan to post near my desk (especially given recent posts I've made). You may not be able to achieve every one of them, but it's not the achieving that's important--it's the effort. It's getting the darned thing started.
