<p>Most of us have heard about &#8220;Don&#8217;t live with broken windows&#8221; or &#8220;Broken Window Theory&#8221; in software world, through books (<a href="http://www.pragprog.com/titles/tpp/the-pragmatic-programmer">Pragmatic Programmers</a> by Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tipping-Point-Little-Things-Difference/dp/0316346624">The Tipping Point</a> by <a href="http://www.gladwell.com">Malcolm Gladwell</a>) and other sources (wikipedia, blogs, articles, etc). </p>
