New coders are like cowboys who go around messing up everything the leaving the ranch going to a new job and leaving a mess. Then the old hands have to fix their mess, sometimes it takes years.

This new developer was getting his code hammered in production, they pulled his app, and I asked who had reviewed his code. He said no one. I told him if you work in a vacuum then things are going to suck. He was Indian so I don't think he got the pun.

I know a guy who makes a *very* good living doing remedial coding for companies who outsourced their IT overseas, then brought it back in-house.
