( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I'm struggling with a job which grew out of a 1 to a 10+ man project and is in many possible ways misdesigned.

But now I am busy to stop other colleagues "improving" things on the fly.

Changing concepts demands ...

  • a clear goal,
  • a well thought plan,
  • good team communications
  • a general agreement
  • approved responsibilities
  • and last but not least a willing management.

For instance I'm reluctant to let an over-motivated newbie change the data model towards a "better" one, while he doesn't understand other legacy code.

Point is it depends on the dependencies (no pun intended).

A small isolated project is easily changed, starting to "improve" complex stuff most likely ends in worsening the degree of entropy i.e. causing more chaos.

My advice:

Locate the chief architect and suggest your improvements.

He or she is the one who has to take the responsibility and decide about the strategies.

You can't be fired for following orders.

Otherwise take a sleeping pill or change the job.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
