Experience has taught me that there's more to real-world development than picking up a CS text book and skimming it over. If you can't understand that scheduling and project planning (which includes accurate estimates for development) is part of a project lifecyle... well, then sorry.

It's too bad I'm not a new grad, and am speaking from life experience as well. If you've ever worked for a government contractor, you would totally agree with what I've been saying.
