Why your previous developer was terrible
- hardwaresofton 13y agoGreat article, This is super true -- it takes active effort to not blame past developers (or let others blame past developer) for issues with a code-base, and to realize that they were under completely different circumstances.
- Malarkey73 13y agoOh dear Im afraid I was a bit like this the first couple of days in my last job. I soon realised what I was doing though and started to bite my tongue. Then after a couple of weeks I knew that all the issues with the system were not the fault of the previous developer but my colleagues who didn't want to spend a second learning anything new but instead wanted an IT guy to fiddle with and maintain their present system whilst it mouldered about them.
