Respectfully, Failure is not an Option

We suggest really, really understanding the software infrastructure and architecture of the existing application prior to engaging in any parallel programming retrofitting efforts. Of course, this prompts emails to me and Tracey about the reality of costs and bottom lines and lots of talk about being practical and competing with overseas developers. We haven't even got to the formal methods yet, and we're hearing from bean counting nay sayers. We hear this kind of talk just too much.
