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.
