the cycle of life in development

- year 1, feature request, can you make a screen that show this and that? - year 2, feature request, can you hide that when you show this? - year 3, bug request, hey I noticed that that is hidden when this is shown, can you fix that? ... and the cycle repeat... the older the software, the less productive the developers :(

Sounds familiar, we are also trying to move away from making "customized" versions of our software for every customer.

I thought there was money in doing that. Maybe you're too nice.

There is money in that sort of thing, but can you imagine the configuration management headaches? A bug found in one branch must be ported to the other branches, where it must be tested and released. With any significant number of customizations, this quickly becomes a nightmare.

This, but replace "year" with "week", or sometimes "day". :laugh:

Sounds painfully familiar. Used to work on such system. Quarter of century in development, 3-4 million ROC, bloated interface with latest addition of some insufferable outsourced parts. You change something and all the hell gets loose.
