At any rate, I woudn't blame them, instead I would greatly appreciatewhat they doing at their free time.You're kidding me.I'm sorry for the kid's bad code, but it's not very likely I'm going to be
appreciative of fixing some clueless kid's mess because s/he's learning howto program wrongly. At that price, I might just as well go and write thespecification, and implement the thing myself.a) it will be done properly
b) there will be quality controlc) there will be documentationMuch better then fixing some kid's code, while s/he informs me via e-mailthat s/he can't support Solaris because s/he only has Linux.
The right thing to do here is to teach the kid how to do it properly, orsteer him/her in the right direction.I agree - when I was at polytech learning how to programme; the number of times I was sent back projects because they were of an 'unacceptable standard' in regards to messy code, incorrect indentation etc. etc. I hated it, but in the end, it served me well, and provided a good platform for future learning.
