Sometimes the best answer to unreasonable expectations from stubborn customer is iterative development in small steps. After few steps they know how much they can expect to get over time and they also know how much they will have to pay for it so they reduce the expectations.

@CottidaeSEA extending part is the most powerful OOP feature and as such it is the most prone to abuse. OOP is superior to structured programming because it gives us a way to reduce the complexity in code by moving some of it into design. We get more complex design and less complex code inside methods (functions). Good OOP project has balanced complexity between code and design. Bad OOP has too complex design and simple code or too complex code and too simple design.

@mitnick212 why do you need to evaluate 100s of them? Randomly pick 20 of them and evaluate them and tell the rest that you already found the candidate. Don't waste their time.

This is not true. Experienced programmers optimize only code that needs optimization. Less experienced usually want to optimize everything.
