Save me from whizkids

Tomorrow morning I will have a discussion with a whiz kid. He will show me why his code works, and why I as an old fart missed the obvious design. And why it is intuitively obvious; And oh yeah, I was never allowed to finish that.... I'm thinking of the joker and his disappearing pencil trick. If that doesn't work I know this guy named John with a blind paypal account... Just kidding John... sort of

What is more important is the code being obvious, legible and maintainable. Because that is where the cost to the company is, where its profit is wasted. It is NOT wasted by having code that is, possibly, a bit slower, or hasnt got such an elegant design. Tell your manager this.

Let's see where to start. Hmmm... - Mgt has decreed this code obsolete, so there is no traction to fix it; - the tool is rooted to it's launch location, careful how you branch; - Some of the processing is spreadsheet driven. There appears to be limited error checking; The last one is on me. I missed the double entry. I missed my Sunday too. Going back to my mushroom cave sleep deprived.

There is a measure of truth in your statement.

Read somewhere today that some people have recently completed a BitCoin transaction using Ham Radio. No idea if this can circumvent the trcing, but thought it worth noting.
