Lesson Learned « welp's blog

Lesson Learned « welp's blog: "Uhoh. After working on large projects for three and a half years, I had completely missed a major point: the inherent transitionary nature of large projects means that it is necessary for one programmer to work with another programmer’s code in order to be paid. I didn’t realize how wrong this was though. I forgot an else statement when refactoring my colleague’s code; she had to stay up until 5am debugging it. She no longer understood what was originally hers. I am now convinced that nothing is more demotivating than working with code you don’t understand, especially when it was your own. It can’t get much worse for me though, right?
