Example 2: The Postman Always Clicks Twice

Andy Tso gets a call from Regina Opulence, the head of the new Internet Startup clickdammit.com. "I need to have a mail web site," she said, "one like Google Mail. Can you make one up in a week?"

"Hmmmm." said Andy, "What's your business plan, if I may ask?"

"It's brilliant." she said. "Our backend servers will read the mail they send back and forth, then send them ads based on the things they talk about!"

Andy rolled his eyes to the ceiling. It would do no good to talk about privacy issues, legality, or all that other nonsense. He was just a tech guy, and Regina wanted him to do techie-type things. At least Clickdammit.com paid well. "Lemme give it a whirl. I think I can get you a pretty good demo in a week. "

He hung up the phone and wondered ... how could he get this demo done and propose to his longtime girlfriend on Friday night? He still had to write the speech, after all.

Fortunately there's Dojo! *
