Yes.

If it'll fix blackfly problems for roses, you'll be *The! *Next!* *Internet!* *Billionaire!*
If not, well, it's time to crack the gardening books.

You could hit the blackfly with 'em?
The ones I hate are Gooseberry Sawfly.
I had two Gooseberry bushes - and I love Gooseberries - and every year they were doing really nicely. Just as the fruit was about to ripen *BOOM* in come the sawfly and strip it of fruit, leaves, everything but sticks and thorns in a matter of hours. In ten years, I got two - count them both, I did, several times - Gooseberries and they were both too unripe to eat.

In the last 2 jobs I have been to, I saw a pattern... A pattern should warn against and I am wondering what could be done...
In both case there are application with lots of man hours and developer and moving part dependant on each other and developed (and, more importantly, updated) independently....
And it happens every now and then that some code that was once working fine stop doing so because one of it dependency started to behave differently... And lots of time is spending not adding and fixing new code but updating old one to fight what could be called new bug affecting old code.
This can be a real time waster...

How long do you expect to heap one sinister hack upon another without getting into trouble? Or has anyone ever sucessfully built a skyscraper on top of something that started out as a wooden shack, nailed together by some kids decades before?

The most fascinating thing is that when new code developed - and destroyed old code - it passes QA (at least here), but because no one knows about the relation between this and that in the complicated landscape, the bug happily installed in customer's site... So not only they discover it (which look bad), but we have to fix it under pressure (SLA), so we obviously will introduce more bugs - one of them will be to run the new code

I, too, have seen this, but, in every case, the cost and risk of a complete re-write was the cement that kept things "how they are."

In my previous company almost month can be past without new code because of that...
The bigger the overall codebase, the bigger the waste of time usually...
Yeah, I am glad other have seen it too. It's not shcadenfreude here, it's more correctly identifying an issue plaguing our profession that... we should try to avoid, if possible... :/

Architects? You mean those guys really exist? They are overpaid anyways, looking at the number of confident young men we have.
Fools are full of confidence and geniuses are full of doubt.
