Working with government contracts...

Them: We want an agile environment!
What they mean: Waterfall with bits and pieces of agile.

Them: We want to modernize our code!
What they mean: Oh, that is open source code from Russia or a country we don't like? No, even though it is a norm and a very powerful tool, we can't have communism here.

Them: We have a new task order for you.
What they mean: We won't approve you the money till you have a month left of the task order.

    Seriously? Never heard of a manager even having a clue about which country a particular code library comes from.

    Only in the government sector. You would be surprised on some of them that get shot down... Which then results in extra coding to get around what we can't have.

    I've heard that you should avoid government contract jobs for those very reasons
