About things that I find. As in the French frappé). Monday, August 16, 2010. There is this Dutch. Expression that says: "that is mustard after the meal". It means that you have thought of something you should have done when you still could. Maintenance is often that mustard after the meal, especially software maintenance. More often than not (at least in my experience) maintenance is an after thought or at best something that we think of in a late stage in the project. So, let's summarize my requirements:.
