If I am out, drinking or whatever, in person I can tell you what my application does no worries. I can go in depth about why we did what we did, what pedagogy we are peddling, the whole nine yard. Sit me infront of my machine and ask me to write it up, I fail hard. Oh so hard.
In the end I went for the child book analogy and made SO many picture. Oh so many.
The due date for the application I am working on has jumped forward by like 3 months and each day that goes by I am less and less certain that we can make it. In structure we are as rock solid as ever, our back end replaced from a standard server to that of an ejabbered XMPP one, adopting the metaphor of the old school mIRC chat room. So with an properly configerd erlang back end, our server never crashes, which is good.
The concern comes that we will not have the time to test the edge cases that users always manage to get themselves in the first minute they pick up the machine. Our testing team are doing an amazing job, coming at the application from various angles with a sledge hammer but even they cannot work so many miracles before they can't find anymore.
