Blame The Tool

A highly effective technique to AvoidDoingAnyWork?. Reports of success are as high as 96%.

This is even better if the tool you blame is a software IDE. The obvious solution to your blaming of the tool is to write your own IDE, which you can of course waste many months on - it (obviously) needs to be fully modular, and you can go on writing abstract classes and making design decisions for many months before you have to implement anything - and when you fail to implement it properly, you can BlameTheTool.

Thinking like this most certainly is reason to call for ProcessImprovement, ProcessImprovementTools and perhaps led to the shift to OffshoreProgrammers.
