Don't most industries work with prototypes? As long as no lying is involved it seems okay.

Besides, most of the projects I've worked on don't actually begin until after the first delivery (when the customer finally looks at the software and starts deciding what they _really_ want!).

A screen shot != a prototype

A prototype = code that runs

yeah!

echo "there are data from our distributed, fault-tolerant cloud-based backend"; # TODO: Insert actual code here.

is much better.

Yes, I agree. It would be tough to keep going to a customer with screenshots but without an actual demo app.
