[PHP-WIN] Making Maintainable Software From: Dickerson, Monty (webjavapro <email protected>)
Date: 05/24/01

Thank God those old days of catering to the PC are GONE.. ?..
and now we can cater to the developer, or more accurately
the poor sucker 12-18 months later who has to maintain our code
!!!

I left perl cgi hacking because perl is a "write once"
language; I could hardly even maintain my own code 12 months
later so how could anyone else? And I try.

Let's write maintainable code, people.

Have mercy.
