in reply to wxPerl Object Store

Show us some code, for starters.

As an aside, I couldn't help but notice the quote in the OP: "There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over..."

Why does it seem that all too many proponents of Agile think that is an acceptable way to do things?!?

You must always remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

    The quote comes from years of working in a small technical area within a giant non-technical company. This company would announce fixed opening dates four years in advance, then allow physical construction to eat up all the slack time allocated for systems installation and integration while constantly changing specifications. Besides months of 16 hour days, 7 days a week by the software group, several very public failures resulted in adding back months to the schedule and adding millions back to the budget. Management never listened until the missed opening made their sponsors look bad to the public. Thus arose one of our favorite sayings.

    There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
