Letters from the Equator

most of my time is wasted worrying about how to write my code. i just don’t want it to come back to haunt me. all i want is to write an application, make sure it runs and runs well, and everyone is happy with it. and if i need to write extensions, i don’t want to worry about the old code. the old code should run fine. i hate to run into dependency issues. dependencies should be stated clearly and easy to install or setup. i don’t want to change my documentation all the time. i just have to add lines, not remove and re-write them. i don’t want to change frameworks all the time. i just need frameworks that work well and have good support from the implementors and developers who use it… and there should be a lot of them. i don’t want ugly design, where i don’t know where to categorize logic in their semantic layers. i don’t want to run into problems where i lock myself into something i could’ve saved myself from earlier on. i need something that will scale with the hardware. i need something that will scale with the software too. and when it comes time to hand over the job, it has to be a snap to teach and learn. or at least, the documentation should be straightfoward and simple… at least from the point of the adopted frameworks. as little legacy code as possible, please. do they pay people to worry about things like that?
