( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Your manager is unlikely to know just how unmaintainable of a mess you have created until you are gone, and by then it's too late to be helpful to you. Certainly he wouldn't re-hire you to continue twenty more years of unmaintainable code. No... by the time he finds out what a mess he has, you would already be gone, and when he finds out, you will never be invited back.

Furthermore, the new, highly motivated, cheaper salary individuals will have such a hard time figuring it all out that they too will be unproductive. But this is a global marketplace; if it becomes apparent that, whatever the reason, your geographic region is unable to provide trustworthy, well-written, maintainable code, your entire region suffers. The client comes to the realization that it turned out to be no bargain, hiring the overseas company at 1/3rd the rate of programmers they can deal with and supervise more intimately in-house or in-region. While they were paying "oursourcing" prices for the product, they are now suffering a "local-region" impact to their business, in their local-region currency. They have lost control of the code base on which their business depends.

It is this sort of issue, I suspect, that keeps in-house, or in-region programmers highly employable.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
