Isn't that the same as keeping your job but deciding you don't want to be paid for it? Typing up a polished design doc for your successor would be the best thing to do, anything more would be paid consultant work.
- jaekwon 16y agoI agree, typing up a polished design doc should be enough. That's not something you can throw together on your last day though. You get a polished design doc by maintaining the doc and your software simultaneously. No, it's not like you're working full time. Anyone can offer to help out a couple hours a week after they leave. It's not just good service, but it's also the most intelligent thing we can do: the original writer of software is by far in the best position to maintain it. If we all did this, we'd all benefit.
