This is sad but true -- especially with the Java 
programmers I come in contact with.

They say things like "Don't spend time on a generalized solution 
before you need it."

Also mention is made that they are using an 'Extreme Programming' 
methodology.

Maybe I don't 'get it', but this methodology seems to me not to be 
'Extreme Programming' but rather extremely bad programming -- 
just coding without thinking first and without regard to a 
thought out library.
