The stuff posted on here "just ain't so"... Un-f-ing believable... You guys have to start naming the companies and the projects for these things. And, please state where these things are developed...location of the developer...

Well a lot of this stuff would be too hard to make up, so it must be real.

You aren't programming for a long time, are you?

Definitely not. This may get you in trouble - in most (all?) companies all code belongs to company. If you show it here, you are basicaly stealing. And it usually doesn't matter that you don't work for them anymore - it's well covered in the contract.

No dude, the people I work with aren't novices and don't write crap software. The snippets you post are something you would see in a high school or college 101 class that's all.

Doing maintenance on a horror inherited from somebody else, or cleaning up after the trouble person, hired for the sole purpose of increasing head count on your team, is the way we run into this sorta code. Any more questions? Roswell

lol, do you have any idea of how much code there is in the world?

My company?:~ I'm on my own actually. I do some contract work, but mostly freelance. So there's no one in MY company but me;) But i've seen a fair share of these horrors myself, so yes, you are right in the sense that outsourcing is often unreliable, but so is hiring of local programmers of equal "quality".:sigh: The solution IMHO is to have a decent interview procedure and not rely so much on credentials, as on actual knowledge.
