One item:
If i could look into the future and take knowledge back
with me into the present - then i could have peace of mind.
Otherwise, it's all up for grabs. Sure, you can design and
test and refactor all you want - but that's nothing compared
to being able to travel in time and seeing how the project
winds up. Then you can make the right choices. Heck! You
could just take the finished code back with you! :D
