Software projects vs. 30+ dating

There's one striking similarity in planning software projects and dating for people over 30: choices. In both, you've got three attributes, out of which you can choose to freeze only two. In dating, it's

• attractive / interesting
• available
• sane

In software

• features
• time / money
• quality

Which two would you like to freeze? Are you ready to live with the fact that one of the three can't be accurately predicted?
