Interesting.  You see, to me you are wasting our time and money if you do not realize that the time devoted to code entry is insignificant when compared to other aspects of a non-trivial project.  It&#x27;s like putting $300 racing tires on a Toyota Sienna minivan.  You can quote all kinds of skid-pad numbers and amazing high speed capabilities, yet you&#x27;d be focusing on the wrong problem.  You can go much faster by getting a better car with less expensive tires.<p>I know a good percentage of HN members are focused around web development.  Please stop for a moment to understand there&#x27;s much more to software engineering than the web.  Much more.  Your view of reality is decidedly skewed.<p>I&#x27;ll give you an example.  We&#x27;ve been working on a system that has required over a year of real R&amp;D and thousands of man-hours before we understood how to solve the problem.  The software development phase will take about a month or two.  And a good chunk of that is debugging, reevaluating assumptions and testing.  Nobody here cares one bit about what we use to enter the code (in various languages) comprising this system.  It isn&#x27;t a factor.
