The joys of outsourcing
-
Disclaimer: maybe your outsourcing experience is better, but I've never personally seen it. It also speaks volumes of the lack of code reviews by a major company before this stuff went into product. Is the expression "well, it works" sufficient justification? For example (reduced to the essential):
public string getRecordToBeProceed()
{
if previuosXML()
{
RecordToBeProceed = "1";
}
}Typos and outright errors: "RecordToBeProceed" should be "RecordToBeProcessed"
if (getRecordToBeProceed()) ...
And you just gotta love (or not) the string "0" and "1" used to represent a boolean. :^) Marc

On the bright side, they're (mostly) English words :laugh:
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

We have lost our way.

We dream of code that good in our team :laugh:

Ouch. My eyes are bleeding and begging for mercy after looking at that "code".

Ha! Nothing personal, and I was trying to be politically, if not correct, at least sensitive, to how I really wanted to title the post "The joys of outsourcing to India", which is where this code comes from. I think I assumed people would assume I was talking about India. ;) Marc

If you thought India was bad try Romania! I still get mad thinking about it :mad: Actually, I still have a t-shirt with the face of their lead dev and the words he said to me in an email (after I completely burned the garbage they delivered to the ground) "You prefer to wait and hit after, thanks we'll remember!" (seriously, no joke) :laugh: I got that t-shirt when I left that company (and the outsourcing was one of the reasons I left) :)
