Boy, that one touches a nerve. I am sick and tired of having management
beat ridiculously short time commitments out of the development team,
despite their objections, and then act surprised when the project cannot
be completed in such a short span. Rather than move methodically toward an
agreed upon goal, business developers are too often forced to run headlong
toward a shady, vaguely defined target only to be criticized and have
funding cut for their efforts when they fail to hit it. 

It's exciting to imagine that tools like Java might make time to delivery
shorter and simpler, but as soon as management figures that out, they'll
start demanding even shorter timelines in which the new tools are forced
to fail as well. 

Sorry if I'm venting. :)
