  • Heh... well, what's the matter? Didn't they follow the "time to market" and the "splash for the cash" paradigm that everyone seems to preach... instead of writing quality code that shares a concern for the customer at large?

    They just did what I've been preaching against and that most of you (sorry Steve, you're included) seem to embrace when your ill-informed boss says "meet the schedule or die". No hair...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
