>> you have no control over what will happen with your software
Can you please go directly to your boss's office and tell him that you are not even close to being in control of the objectives he told you at the convention, that you should have, if you want that bonus we've been talking about?
I’m not a software god. I am unable to impose my will upon any codebase I have ever touched for eternity. I admit somebody is eventually going to rewrite and refactor and extend my shit code which was written with the curse of knowledge, minimal review, minimal testing, and never having to handle more than a narrow set of use cases. Code which may have been easier to write and more efficient than the libraries available but that is going to be thrown out when somebody has to maintain my handwritten JavaScript framework replacement and goes “what the fuck”.
Somebody who only uses their own code has awful taste in code.
This is a delightful rebuttal and I applaud you for it. I hereby withdraw any claims I might have made with regards to the topic at hand because you have clearly the upper hand on what is right and what is simply nonsense. I wish your upcoming corporate day to be a blissful one.
No, that last sentence was way to illfull. Sorry for inventing a new word. It means "full of ill".
