And so, as the great guru of your IS organization , here's the mantra you should repeat to yourself, and that you should encourage everyone in your cult...uh, department...repeat to themselves as a calming transition to an alpha state:

  "I'm paid to have headaches. I'm paid to have headaches. I'm paid to..."

      - Bob Lewis

I think you're fighting the battle wrongly. Great inertia accumulates to things that work. Arguments for change may have sound technical merit, but I think many will agree that technical correctness rarely carries much weight in an organic(human) environment. Your only true weapon for change in a business setting is the immutable cost/benefit ratio.

I know time-tracking is a nuissance to most, but how about keeping a log of your efforts. Note the actions you take that are a direct result of the offending sections that are not "reasonable, fluid, and upgradeable code." Compare that with the effort needed to keep the upgrades flowing. I think your results will vary from project to project.

For what its worth, I agree with you. Yet somehow I am still maintaining some dusty SCO OpenServer boxen:-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
