Whats the biggest mistake people make during software development?

Dan> Getting wrapped up in the technology or development and missing the whole point of why you’re writing the software – for the customer(s). You need to come up for air and sanity check your work often. If you’re software isn’t out there solving real business needs or making you loads of money as people keep buying it you’re just not solving problems. Technology is great, but it’s a tool to solve real problems. Russ> Could not agree more. In fact, if I had a nickel for every time I’d heard “hey, we’re using so why now is our project still buggy?” then I might not have needed to write a book and could have retired to Belize rather than just spending my honeymoon there… but seriously, the big lessons in software development have less to do with tools and much more to do with practices, and that’s why you’ll see a dedicated page at the end of each chapter, called your “Software Development Toolbox”, that hammers home each of the practices you pick
