Programmer time...
~Tom Sayles
... also stated as "One of the fundamental limiting factors of _______ is available programmer time." Where the blank can refer to almost any thing, process, system or group.
This is true of all (or almost all) modern systems, projects, products and even societies. It is probably also true of overall economic efficiency, output and per capita income.
I've finally gotten the opportunity (at work) to brush off my programing skills. For about the last two weeks I've been writing plug-ins, in Java, for ImageJ (an open source image processing package). These have been the first few projects I've done in Java, and I've also been able to get up to speed using Eclipse and JUnit.
Eclipse is hands down the best programing IDE I have ever used. Its integration with JUnit has allowed me to quickly learn and implement "test driven development".
