Welcome to IWETHEY!

New That guy needs to be shot.
Cut-n-paste is *NOT* a good programming technique. I'm maintaining/upgrading a web-site created with that most ancient technique. *shudder* Soooo many pages are near identical.

Wade.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

-- "Anything but Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne.

New factoring frowned on
I was at one place where they duplicated the functionality of a module 8 times. I asked if I could refactor it and the architect told me that such had caused too many problems in the past and didn't let me do it. They were afraid of any meta concepts altoghether. That and other things made me decide to up my asking price during the next project contract negotiation round and they didn't bite. In difficult times one should live with crap, but that place was soooooo messed up. Out of all the contracts, I have to give them first place in F-ness, and I've seen tough competition. It was a major phone company that starts with "S". DON'T GO THERE! It is the worse combination of stubborn beurocracy and over-caffinated PHB's. Usually they are somewhat mutually exclusive, but not at this place.
