I used to think that - bit I now believe we can find the clients who want it done right more than right now

To be fair the best way of judging this is the reverse penalty clause - so this job must be done by June 1. Ok and if it is three weeks late as we use erlang? A penalty of 1000 dollars a day? Wow - ok so if I am a month early you can pay a bonus of 20,000 ? No - so perhaps we are not as time critical as we feared ? Would you rather save 20,000 in ongoing maintence costs and general uncertainty over how good the solution is for three weeks delay that would likely creep in anyway?

Have I told you erlang has an uptime of 99.999 % proven over twenty years?
