Do you know the myths related to software development?

·         JavaScript has something to do with Java

·         Software development is mostly about having good math skills, is best learnt by studying theoretical computer science. It is best done by people who are very good in mathematics.  Solving logic puzzles is the perfect way to measure software engineer's skill.

·         A belief specifically held by clients and nontechnical managers- the idea that software is mostly about what's visible on the surface, and that what is happening under the design need not be understood and not worth paying attention.

·         The software can be successfully designed or mocked up in some other medium, such as Photoshop comps or wireframes as designing is too hard and expensive in the actual medium such as CSS and HTML.

·         The design is just like a coating of adornment applied on the surface and is much less important than good engineering.

·         That software can be estimated precisely.

·         The development works best when there more than one way to complete a task, where programmers have complete freedom.

·         The development works best when there is just one way to do it, where programmers’ freedom is severely restricted by the language.

·         The best technical solution wins.

·         The software development can be sold as fixed cost profitably and at fixed timeframe projects effectively.

·         The object should provide all the operations necessary to work with that data and the data should always be hidden within objects.

·         Writing software is a good profession for people who lack people skills.

·         The idea that software can be built on a stack of abstractions, rather than the underlying implementations. You only need to understand the topmost and abstract layers.

·         The designers must be protected from real code and they can't or won't learn any coding.

·         When you finally launch your new website or app, your job is done.
