Linux Programmer

[Furmanek, Greg]

No offence but you sound like perfect VP.

"get it done and do it as cheap as possible."

This is the first mistake of management.
Not enough money spent on good design!!!

It has been proven time and time again:
"_90%_ of cost of software is in the support and 
maintenance!!!"

I think the Idea of unprofitable (useless) exercise 
in engineering does not exist.  The only way to look
at this one is:

"Pay me now or Pay me 1000 times more later."

It is your choice.
