- codr4life 10y agoWhy wouldn't they? If it turns out to be a good solution for the problem they're trying to solve? There's nothing wrong with coming up with your own solutions, that's why we got brains instead of answering machines.
- naasking 10y agoIt is a problem if it's not properly documented. This system will probably outlast their time at that company, so the next poor shmuck is left to figure out what that program is doing.
- codr4life 10y agoAgreed, but that's an if; there's no reason to assume anything. And the next scmuck also doesn't need to spend most his time struggling to find a combination of dependencies that still kind of work. There are advantages to owning your code.
