Five-step guide to ensure software failure

Here is Spolsky's five-step guide to ensure software failure:

  1. Mistake No. 1: Start with a mediocre team of developers.
  2. Mistake No. 2: Set weekly milestones.
  3. Mistake No. 3: Negotiate the deadline.
  4. Mistake No. 4: Divide tasks equitably.
  5. Mistake No. 5: Work till midnight.

Thanks, Joel, but how about writing the five step guide to software success? Applying Boole's algebra over the failing rules isn't quite enough, right? But it helps, thanks :)
