1. eXtreme Go Horse (XGH)
2. 1 - Did you think? So is no XGH In XGH you don't think, you do the first thing that comes to your mind. There's not a second option as the first one is faster.
3. 2 - There are 3 ways of solving a problem: the right way, the wrong way and the XGH way which is exactly like the first one but faster XGH is faster than any development process you know
4. 3 - You'll always need to do more and more XGH For every solved problem using XGH 7 more are created. And all of them will be solved using XGH. Therefore XGH tends to the infinite.
5. 8 - Be ready to jump off when the boat starts sinking. Or blame someone else For people using XGH someday the boat sinks. As time passes by the system grows into a bigger monster. You better have your resume ready for when the thing comes down. Or have someone else to blame.
6. 11 - XGH is anarchic There's no need for a project manager. There's no owner and everyone does whatever they want when the problems and requirements appear.
7. 20 - Tests are for pussies If you ever worked with XGH you better know what you're doing. And if you know what you're doing why test then? Tests are a waste of time. If it compiles it's good.
8. 22 - The problem is only yours when you name is on the code docs Never touch a class of code which you're not the author. When a team member dies or stays away for too long the thing will go down. When that happens use.
9. How to avoid that?
10. The scientific model! 1. Ask why is not working? 2. Think about what is going on 3. Try to isolate the problem 4. Attack the isolated parts 5. Solve the problem! \o/
