"How do you upgrade one of the busiest web applications of the whole
Internet to Java 1.5? This is a challenge under the best conditions,

106 million page views per day."

Joel Spolsky: Things You Should Never Do, Part I

"It's a bit smarmy of me to criticize them for waiting so long between
releases. They didn't do it on purpose, now, did they?

the code from scratch."

JoS: Programmer behavior observed

"I've noticed that the programmers in my shop have a strong tendency to
