Programmers don't make projects fail, even if they don't work overtime...
...I've been through several such projects where all the pressure was put on the programmers to bring the project to completion...
...Don't take the cowardly path - "I pushed the team as hard as I could, literally 24x7, what else could I do?" Unfortunately, many
programmers-turned-managers really don't know any other way - this is what their managers did when projects got into trouble, so they do the same.
