Dont get me wrong, I love programming! But what an absolute pain in the ass it is when you re-use old code only to discover something "less well made". You all know about this right? You go into your homemade library of code to re-use some piece that you already are using 12 other places in production. Now, last time you worked on the code you thought it was almost perfect. While working on the code this time you find an undiscovered bug or some part of the code that looks like you where on drugs when you made it. Of course we develop experience and more skills all the time, and as a good programmer we never stop doing that, but what a pain it is when the above happens and you have to patch the code being used those 12 other places too, and each place maybe has a slightly different usage, so minor changes affect other stuff. And this goes on while your head is spinning around trying to stay focused on the very task at hand that originated the need for a quick re-usage of old code in the first place. Why the hell can't code be self-maintaining!? :)) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
