Phase Two Woes is the part of the project where things start to get really, really interesting. Where the code that was so neat and tidy in Phase One starts to resemble a rat's nest. Where the bugs start to multiply like a horde of locusts.
But fear not, dear developer, for Phase Two is also the time of great discovery! Where you realize that the entire project could be done in six weeks if only you had a team of highly trained, genetically engineered, ninja developers.
In this subphase, the agony of Phase Two is replaced by the sheer joys of refactoring. Where every line of code is scrutinized, every variable renamed, and every function optimized for maximum efficiency.
But be warned, the ecstasy of Subphase 2.2 is also a short-lived pleasure. For soon enough, the code will be refactored into an even greater mess than before.
For the next part of this subphase, visit Phase 2.3: The Agonizing Refactoring.
