This sounds remarkably similar to my job over the last couple of years. Since my team has been reduced to 5 from 17, all of us have assumed the responsibility for other people's wretched crap code. I've become remarkably better than I used to be at doing this. There is even a certain level of satisfaction with fixing a problem without succumbing to the urge to rewrite the great steaming pile whole thing.
When I return to working on my own towering edifice of magnificence stuff, I have to be careful that I don't use the godawful approaches practices from the other folks' code.

There is much, much truth to that.

I love that their website has a button for Japanese, but once you're on the Japanese site there's no button for English.
I guess that's a great metaphor for using their libraries

Is the theme just historical figures, or something more specific?
|

Well done - I took the word policeman from OG's Monday post - but historical figures would be cool - you're up, your call.
[edit] 'your call' includes freeing yourself from any form of onerous thematic shackles - I was just trying to do a 'word link' and see if it caught on [/edit]

So if I was going to stick with your theme, would that mean using a word from last Tuesday's post?
|
|
|
|
|
Um, no, you would use the word 'policeman' in your clue - but I don't think we need to stick to a theme this week.
|
|

|

urgh... sorry, I was off work yesterday and thought it was Monday today!
And now I have a clue with a famous person... I will see if I can work a new clue with Policeman, but if not then I will have to go with my existing one.
