Maybe someday I can just write my Intention Driven Design unit tests put
my feet up and say another piece of business value implemented.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuut NO! I have to hack it into place throw in a couple
global variables, a couple of cyclomatic complexity methods greater
than the US GDP and then break functionality in an area that doesn't
even come close to having anything to do with the area I'm working in.

Would you believe this software is making the company cubic butt loads
of money, but can I implement any kind of decent test coverage? Sure you
can they say, but you have to do it in another branch. HUH? How is this
going to help? I ask. Well we don't want to break our code base with
unit testing. HUH? Oh well.
