Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

A coworker of mine likes to say that there are three major problems in software development: naming things and off-by-one errors.

Cache invalidation was also included in the original quote.
