Shanti’s Dispatches

This coding horror post reminded me of the original, a scenario I’ve definitely had the displeasure of dealing with over the years.

While web applications can be simpler than desktop apps or enterprisey type of situations, they are not immune to this problem. (Try setting up a J2EE container sometime without exact instructions and you’ll see what I mean)

I can’t help but toot Ruby on Rails’ horn here. On at least three occasions, I’ve had the opportunity to join an existing software development team or work on some code that was halfway completed.

On all three occasions, within 2-3 hours I was fixing bugs and checking in new features.
