That's absolutely fair, and to be honest, I was mostly grousing about our particular application which is D2JC. And really grousing about its lack of design. And the fact that it doesn't build naturally in Eclipse because no one has updated the config correctly. Programming is 1/3rd design, 1/3rd programming, 1/3rd testing, and if you skip on design, the other 2 parts just take longer.

You are a heretic Pierce ;-) Agile programming says you write some tests (2/3rds of the work), write some code to pass these tests (1/3rd)... ship product, fix customer problems really fast so your support looks responsive! (Don't get me too wrong, Agile has a lot of good things about it, and I have probably mischaracterized it :-).)

When I first started programming professionally in my 20s, there were these 40-year-old curmudgeons who went around saying things like "Bah, everything old is new again." and who seemed mostly amused by my bright-eyed-bushy-tailed enthusiasm for new technologies.


  Now I'm one of those 40-year-old curmudgeons.
