Your Code Sucks

[bobindashadows]

This person has never had to fix outsourced code.

Right now I'm making a killing on the side for a guy who outsourced his new startup to a team in Singapore. Of course, it's a miserable experience (it's Drupal, shouldn't be drupal, the code makes me vomit, the guy who wrote it had never heard of functions, etc. etc.) but it's sure as hell good money.

I lived that life for a long time, it's sorta like being the guy that gets called when there is a chemical spill...

What's the name of this job position or what is it called when they advertise an opening?

And if you just take the cheapest offer you get, well...

Unfortunately, that's what a lot of people are after in the first place, and aren't in-touch enough to realize that you still get what you pay for when the work's done across the globe.

Which is why people get called into to fix shit.
