KEEP your schedule...

So I post my first late blog since I started with a simple warning.  When you take precautions and you're careful, and well-organized and doing things well, don't assume you're doing things well so you can stop being cautious..

Let's see a real life example that probably happens more than anyone would care to admit.  Person has chronic pain for some reason or another.  They start taking medication (with a doctor's permission) on a regular regimen.  Low and behold, the pain which was chronic is now gone.  This does NOT mean you can stop the medication.  Modify maybe, explore other options perhaps, but if you just stop the medication, the odds are you'll be right back where you were.

When you take steps to make something work well, and it works well, that does not mean the steps aren't required.  So make yourself a schedule, or pattern of work, and keep to it.

Test, Code, Test, Debug, Test, Release.

When you get 5 releases that are all flawless, that does not mean you skip a test cycle people!  So don't just make your schedule, KEEP it!
