2. The initial estimate must be within 15% of the final cost, the
post-analysis estimate must be within 10%, and the post-design estimate

3. We don't have time to write unit tests (we're spending too much time debugging).
4. We keep most of our business logic in stored procedures for performance reasons.
5. The only JavaDoc is the Eclipse message telling you how to change your default JavaDoc templates.

7. We can't use any open source code because our lawyers say we can't.
8. We use WebSphere because...(I always stop listening after this point)
9. We've standardized on Eclipse because we don't have money in
