I recently heard a great story about a software team getting frustrated with Cruise Control. Apparently that piece-of-junk software actually complains if you check in code that won't compile! Worse yet, it lets everyone see who checked in the bad code.

The team's solution? They wanted to turn off Cruise Control. Another developer removed his email address from the system.

David Bock's reply? Don't turn off the fire alarm. Deal with the fire.

Classic.
