F...Resistance to Change

[724Skinsfan]

Yeah, well I have a torn cuticle that I've been hiding from you guys. At this point in my career I think I may retire before I sustain any more injuries.







...not!

(Do people still say that?)

I wonder how much of a cap hit we would take if we just released 724. He is obviously not a "core" warpather!

We're sending 724 to Warpath Europe this spring.

The data model for the current project I'm working on is way out of date. It was created by some offshore Indian contractor back in 1999 and the quality is just piss poor. I suggested we do it right and fix our data model before implementing new features. All manager and the other senior developer want to do is patch the data model for now and revisit it later. meanwhile I am the sucker left with the daunting task of patching and hacking this data model. This is really the kind of thing that makes you want to resign your position.

Well stated! Why do they mask their own shortcommings to cover their ass??
