> The natural example is that you hear a lot of "ah it's like <blah> all over again" where blah is something like winforms or activeX or CORBA or lisp or OSGI or what have you, but it's frustrating to come into everything with that baggage. This is why I have changed my thinking on this. I have used technology, I have seen technology fall apart at certain points. So I just poke at pain points. If I can't poke holes, that's good. Less worries on my mind. But otherwise... "Ok when we used this we had problems with X when doing Y, your're using X and you're doing something that's very similar to Y, but you're not pushing it as hard as we did. Have you tested this?" Aww, your stuff fell apart. 10 minutes well spent, hah.
