Software Developer Roundtable: Share your tips, tools and strategies

[loop101]

My advice for programming is to start with something stable, and then add complexity. I've seen really big ($20M) projects fail because people started with something complex, and could never stabilize it. If you have something working, and you add one feature that breaks it, you only have to undo what you added to get it back working again.
