]]> Comment on Does Thirdi have Good Programmers? by isim http://senses.thirdi.com/posts/7-does-thirdi-have-good-programmers/#comment-4 isim Thu, 28 Feb 2008 07:56:41 +0000 http://senses.thirdi.com/posts/7-does-thirdi-have-good-programmers/#comment-4 Two other important attributes that the Thirdi development team has is our <i>unwillingness to compromise the quality of our work</i> and <i>our ability to work with inherited codes</i>. Although as software developers, most of us are guilty of cutting corners in our codes at one point or the other, as much as humanly possible and our sanity permits, the Thirdi team has gone the extra miles and put in the extra hours to deliver quality products. In terms of working with inherited codes, I always think it takes relatively more patience and skills to work with and improve on others' codes (without breaking them) than when working with my own codes. In addition to trying to understand the function of a block of codes, the deeper question that needs to be answered is, <i>"Why did the other developer did it this way?"</i> Contrary to popular belief, the answer <i>"because they are stupid and unprofessional" </i> is often the wrong answer. More logical answers can often be found in the constraints in the development environment, technology framework, business requirement, architectural and database design, background processes etc. For the past year, the Thirdi team has really stepped up to take on any challenge that came our way. And we are still going strong this year! Our goal, as Mark pointed out, is to deliver insightful and painless software. I am proud to be on the team :-) Two other important attributes that the Thirdi development team has is our unwillingness to compromise the quality of our work and our ability to work with inherited codes.

I am wishing you had incorporated the different senses into your post to make a play on the blog name. Next time I guess. Totally found this through google!
