Picking up the pieces
What is worst then reinventing the wheel? Correcting “SHIT” codes…. -_-”
I am doing this emergency development (or fixing) of a Social Network web application. It is written by someone irresponsible… very irresponsible. He was partnering with this veteran company to develop this project, then all the sudden he stop developing it and got himself out of the partnership and even DARE to request for the rest of the payment. He is already 2 weeks off the DEADLINE.
After examining his work, now I know why he call it quits. He developed a piece of crap. I might sound harsh but it is true. He uses outdated Template engine, and a very old version of ADOdb. The way he architect the application could never be able to scale and meet the requirements of a successful social network. So now I have to fix everything in less than a week…. during World Cup finals’ week!!! This is torturing!!!
Anyway, I have to fix this up. First off… by replacing the ADOdb with the latest stable version. It looks like a Malaysian developed this piece of high quality database abstraction library for PHP.
