Sadly, my professional experience included more projects like Ruven's than like Frank's. This encompasses one generously funded startup, and another high-cost internal development.
I've always remembered this succinct comment from a prospective customer: Customer: "This system doesn't provide anything I need. You're trying to sell me an empty box" Team of keen programmers: "But it's a very nice box ..." Look forward to your agile programming story, Ruven - it will almost certainly be repeated to my software engineering class!
