At this meeting somebody points out that the whole project was previously done in a programming language that is no longer in vogue and the whole thing needs to be rewritten in the latest flavor of the month to be commercially viable. Management insists there is no budget for that. In successful projects, right about then somebody finds a freeware viewer on a website dedicated to pirating videos, and the whole thing is moot.
