Why Small Projects Never Stay Small

It is interesting to note that every time someone approaches you with a so called “small project”, it never actually stays small for long. Case in point is one project I worked on, a Content Management System for websites, in the fashion of WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and all. It indeed did start out small, but interestingly grew exponentially and finally, it is almost at the point where it is functionally comparable to the ones mentioned above. It got quite good that, the University where I did my National Service, decided to scrap their existing website and rebuild it on top of this CMS instead. So here is how it all happened.
