    Nice, I must say it's not too often I hear that.

    Pity the bad programmer who inherits code from a good programmer. He probably wouldn't understand any of it.

    I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

      So what else is new? I have never met a developer who had anything good to say about code he inherited from someone else. We're all individually God's gift to coding are we not? Everybody else's stuff is crap! ;-)

      I appreciate what you're saying and understand that you're probably just joking around, but I've inherited a lot of great code. Often I think, "I would have done that differently, or this really needs to be updated or refactored to a newer version of 'the framework/design pattern'", but it's consistent, and well architected. And sometimes, I'm like, "Whoa, that is awesome....!" But not very often. :)
