Six weeks to get up to speed, with what must be an enormous code base? That's not maintenance programming.

- zbowling 16y agoYeah. Six weeks is barely enough time to pick up on on all the architectural and subtle design decisions in the code base. You still probably won't be really comfortable making big changes for at least another 6 weeks after that with any significant code base. Maintenance programming implies deep understanding of the existing code really.
