> That's great. I audited hundreds if implementations that sucked. The different is that those developers still got paid. Say you go get your car fixed. It breaks down as you drive out. There are 3 other garages right next door who all look at your car and say you shouldn't put gum to plug a hole in the fuel pipe. Would you demand a refund? Of course you would, you went for a professional service and you didn't get what you were paying for. > The bottom line here is that you really have no idea about technology. He shouldn't have to. When someone says they can write you some code for money, they should be able sort everything out for you. If they can't provide what they said they would, can you honest expect people to pay? You shouldn't have to be technically proficient to get someone to write some simple custom software for you. Just like you shouldn't have to know all the ins and outs of plumbing not to get ripped off by a plumber. |

Two years without any auditing is a mistake of the founder, if your car is in the shop for two years for massive amount of work you will go there to check it out. And you better bring a friend who knows about cars if you don't have a clue.
I will give you a better analogy, you go to a random mechanic leave the car there for two years without checking on it. You have no clue about the problem or the car.
Then you finally get the car out and decide to bring it to another mechanic. What will happen in 99% of the cases is the mechanic will talk shit about the previous shop and find every little thing that's not 'up to code'. The coolant hoses (that were not part of the original job) are old now after sitting for two years. Oops.
You still have no clue about anything. So you hire your own mechanic who you think has a clue (but you can't gauge that) to do the 'fixes' and he tells you 'it's great now!'. Bullshit.
This is common in tons of other industries. With programming it's harder to tell what 'shit code' is. Especially when you have 2 year timeline working with a framework that changed significantly within that timeline.
Furthermore, you are missing my point. He does not have A level team to rewrite software. Let's not pretend the magical rewrite is a super car here, not with his team.
> He shouldn't have to. When someone says they can write you some code for money, they should be able sort everything out for you.
Again, missing the point. How do you know everybody else is not feeing him bullshit? If you don't know something, don't wait two years to get third party audit on a TWO YEAR OLD code.
Overall, I don't think you know what you are talking about either. You might think you do just like the founder but you are not fit to run a technology company.
