What attitude do you prefer? How about the prevailing "let's talk about |
| 12 |
it forever and do nothing" attitude, instead? |

Seriously, we should be "doing it" much more than we should be sitting |
| 15 |
around patting each other on the backs. We're not here to stroke each |
| 16 |
other's egos. We're here to write software. Any chance we can get |
| 17 |
ourselves back to getting things *done* and getting them done in a |
| 18 |
decent time-frame? It's very simple. If you don't have time to do |
| 19 |
something, don't do it. However, the common courtesy in such cases |
| 20 |
would be to inform the requester of said time constraint, so he can |
| 21 |
either adjust his expectations, or find someone else to do the work. |
