In my previous job, if I had a task and went dark, my customers knew I was
on it and work was forthcoming. In my latest job, where I'm a little more
removed from the customer, I've found that little updates like that mean a
lot to them. They don't care if they understand much of it as long as
there's an indication progress is being made.

ObFunnyProgressIndicator: Another team in my group has an app being brought
in-house (written under contract... which the vendor did with offshore
"talent") with a progress bar. They thought it odd that it always got hung
up at about the same place no matter what the task was and decided to dig a
little.

Turns out basically initiating a progress bar makes it spin itself up to
72%; turning it off makes it finish the progress up to 100% before going
away.
