Can't tell meeself sometimes! ;-)

I was serious though, that at least in some apps I'm working on,  
these techniques slowed development down with little or no upside.

I'm sure that "it depends..."

If you're aware of the fame and impact the 15 minute Ruby on Rails  
demo (http://www.rubyonrails.org/screencasts) has had on web  
developers, you know speed is as much, if not more, an issue as ever.

What do you think are the 3 (or 5 or 10) most common timewasters of  
Rev programmers?
