Raganwald has an excellent essay on failure in software development. In a world where everyone seems to be talking about how programmers ought to be smart, this is a dose of reality in which we realize that the line between success and failure depends on so much more.
I've been on two failed projects. Each time there's a bit of painful growing. I know I'm not alone; there's that statistic of the majority of software projects failing; but I like honesty and candor with the attempt to become better.
