Not really. I just tend to be very open about my past. If I was venting I'd be going on how I'm starting to dislike working where I am because the older code sucks rancid donkey dong, I'm blamed for any error as I'm trying to fix them, the code is so convoluted that any one template has over 40 includes in it, the tests I have to do on one product feed are all on 'live' data and there's no current plan to clean it all up right, just to 'patch' it better and write from new somewhere down the line. Now that's venting.
Well, I am pissed at work, but not in a venting way yet. When you write code and have to merge it with someone elses code, any error becomes yours even if it's from the old code. And being asked "are you done yet" does not help. > Are you venting again Michael? > > larry > > > On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 15:53:06 -0500, Michael Dinowitz > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Aggression?
