[thelist] A Different POV (was Coding for Standards & ConferenceQuestion) - long

[Luther, Ron]

Hi Jay,


Nice Post!

The ability to write and document sites/apps/code that your successor
can maintain and extend definitely has ROI implications ... So why do we
run into so few folks that understand that?

(Can I borrow your QC Management?  In my little corner of the world IM
doesn't give a damn as long as it works. {I've broken so many 2 by 4s
over their heads I've run out of credit at the lumberyard!}   ;-(
These folks still put 40 lines of VB in a file to make a 'radio button'
widget ... and call it ASP. Yeah - that crap will be real maintainable
when they hire a new kid experienced in ASP!)

Explaining that there were no standards, only recommendations,
our Quality Control management was SHOCKED! Upon recovering, they
confirmed
that these recommendations would suffice.

So, for those who ask "why standards?" tell them it is because it is the
smart thing to do.

Fired up on a Monday morning!
