Drill and exercise. Overprepare. Even if your plans aren&#146;t exactly right, it gives you an advantage.&#148;3. &#147;I keep hearing &#145;integration via middleware, integration via middleware, integration via middleware.&#146; This is the stupidest thing I&#146;ve ever heard. It&#146;s absurd. It&#146;s a nitwit idea, but it&#146;s the conventional wisdom.&#148;]]></description>
