I just do contract programming work. Which, as of late, tends to involve having to look at someone else's code to see how close it is to being "complete." Code that has no notes or documentation. Oh, and the guy that wrote it has been gone for... two years now?
Yet every bit of code I end up having to gauge, evaluate, and possibly complete is written by this guy. Oh, and it's not in either of the two programming languages I was trained in. Learned C++ and C#, was toted as such in my resumes, and I'm here trying to convert that knowledge into Visual Basic.
I can do it, mind, but I rather dislike when the Project Manager gives me next to no time to learn any of it since - in their mind - "VB's a simple language."
Hm.
