Dare ObasanjoA broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.
Michael Wyman@carnage4life the difference is that in software the broken clock ships from the factory already broken with the working clock taped to it
Jigal van Hemert@mwyman @carnage4life that is true for compiled software. In e.g. PHP-based Open Source software you simply declare a dependency on the (now broken) clock which is fetched from its own repository.
