No matter how fast the hardware boys make the machine, the software boys will piss the performance away. Operations is a thing, and it's harder than coding. Especially with a customer on the phone. Your customer's expectations will always exceed the functionality you have provided. Get over it. All the biggest mistakes occur in the first days of a new project. Testing shows the presence of bugs, not their absence. If you think your TDD (test-driven development) method produces correct code, then you will be disappointed. Nobody reads Brooks anymore.
