Living through the 2000s was enough to give me a permanent aversion to "best practices." So many things that we look back on in horror were smugly and haughtily justified using those words.
There was a culture of best practices zealots that had an uncanny resemblance to organized religion. All the answers have been written down for us, and everything that goes wrong is because of arrogant, misguided people who decided to trust their own fallible thoughts instead. Their faith was strong enough to survive any project, no matter the outcome.
