Everyone has heard this phrase (or some variation of it) at least once. It is usually spoken after some "failure" occurs, usually related to some delivery date being postponed.
Oh so long ago, I read the phrase "A pack, not a herd" opined over at Instapundit, but it was only until recently that I connected it to the realm of software development. And the followup question that's never asked, and may be very important is "Why would you want to herd cats?"
Why would you want to take away from a species it's best ability, and then still keep it around thinking it could offer some skill that's useful to you?
Unfortunately, the question still remains: If you have a bunch of cats, and you have a bunch of vermin (bugs, new features, etc.) how do you get you pack to rid you of your problem?
Exploring that dilemma will be this blog. And some coding items as well.
