OK, I was just asked to find a bug on a live site and fix it. The site was written by an outsource indian and he was not available. I went into the site, looked over the code and found the problem in no time. While looking, I mentioned to the client that the code looked like it was done by a first month CF programmer. You know the type, pound signs everywhere, lots of CFIFs, etc. Didn't say the code sucked or anything, just that it looked amaturish. The response? A request to tutor the outsource programmer to bring them up to par.
Why am I posting this? Because I've heard time and again about the quality of outsourced code and wanted to chime in with my experience. The code was simple, mostly hard coded and simplistic looking. Either outsourced code will improve or all those jobs will come back here to quality code. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:11:2238 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/11 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:11 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
