Hey Paul - don't get too offended by Stephen's comments - as its just his style of Quirky Humour!
I believe he is referring to the older style of coding (which, many I suspect still do - even myself - as the place where I work has no time to properly plan - I get new tasks thrown at me every day - and I just need to turn them around as fast as possible - or continue to be buried!) - where people create code on the fly without making lots of plans and documenting the flow of a system. And, I think his comment about passing a Text file - was just his way to come up with an extreme issue. :-) -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul McNett Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 6:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Open source updates cost TIME instead of $$$ On 4/27/10 12:38 PM, Stephen Russell wrote: > On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 1:40 PM, Paul McNett<[email protected]> wrote: >> On 4/27/10 11:19 AM, Stephen Russell wrote: >> This work turns out to make your code much more portable, secure, reliable, and stable. > ------------------------- > Untill you take straight text and pass that back to the db, then you Well, that would be pretty stupid.
