Everybody seems to have the most boring answer to the following
question:

Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
Here are some different answers:

It takes FOUR programmers to change a lightbulb:

	One to design the change.
	One to implement it.
	One to document it.
	One to maintain the change afterwards.

Another answer -- it takes two programmers to change a light
bulb (the first one quit in the middle of the project).

Another answer -- Wait! maybe the bulb isn't broken.  Let's try it
again.

Another answer -- It's hard to say.  Each time we separate the bulb
into its modules to do unit testing, it stops working...

Another answer -- the change is 90% complete!

Another answer -- We looked at the lightbulb and decided there's no
point trying to maintain it.  We're going to rewrite it from scratch.
Could you wait two months?

Another answer -- only one, but she's not available.  She's the only
programmer we have who can get the <you name it> software ready to
ship to customers, and that's higher priority, you know.
