exactly. ever since i left yorku in 94 (these days i work for sun)
i've been trying to clean up crappy code written to meet deadlines at any
cost. it is very very depressing. even if it started great, it eventually
got hacked to the ground. the only chance is to get as many good programmers
you can for the initial product, and after that, hope for the best. :)
hope your venture is going well.
