Hey guys, if somebody is paying you to replace all of the software that runs their business, don't you think that they don't want it to work exactly like the old stuff?

Well, I mean, we've got to make sure that our stuff let's them run their business.

Yeah, but wouldn't they just keep the old stuff in since it works and it will take our stuff awhile to get stable?

Well, no they are replacing the old stuff because it is old.

Yeah, sure, but this isn't a car or a house; software doesn't grow cobwebs or rust. Their current system works really well.

They are paying you to write software that runs just like their old stuff, so just be quiet, ok?

Ok, but they are going to be pissed when they see that they are still going to have to fucking pedal to get the machine to start.

Ha, ha. Real fucking funny.
