Why does everything take so long?

This is something coming from a guy designing data storehouses for a pharmaceutical company.

It's been three months of planning with no visible results. It takes less than a week for any professional team to acquire a server and database cluster to set up a storehouse. database schema and queries are done in less than three days, and the rest of the time is spent building the interface, web app in my case, for the database.

The dev team has done absolutely nothing beyond "investigation". With a team of three individuals, I have built an app catalog which in addition to adding and deleting entries, supports editing of entries , real time visualization of code commits per app, commenting, etc.

It took us two months to go from talk and planning to having a functional app available in a production system.

You really want me to believe that building a simple transaction system is going to take this long for a AAA development firm?

Just a tip, the people here don't take kindly to your kind of talk, they like to bullshit themselves, they actually think that SE has stopped every single team and their janitors to work on the so called "Re-design" of combat etc etc.

People also like to believe nothing takes time.

Indeed, for example the people that like to believe that it has not been 1 year since alpha ..... yet nothing to show for it lol
