I came across this as one of the hot Delicious links of the day.

Open Kosmaczewski – Saving a Failing Project.

For some reason, I like to read about project management. I feel that as a a product manager, it enhances my relationships with the project managers, developers, and I really do like the science of it.  This particular blog seemed like a very inspiring and real-world account of using hardcore management basics to get a software project out the door. I was intrigued and wanted to know how this could help me!

Then, near the end I came to this part:

I did not take any technical decisions about the project; I gave full authority on this matter to the lead developer, who in turn appreciated this trust and took spontaneously the decision of documenting and unit testing the system thoroughly doing extra hours every day.

Oh, I get it now. Satire! These crazy internet jokes. Spontaneus unit testing and documentation! “LOL” You almost had me there!
