+0200 typed in alt.windows7.general the following:

Once I was given a C program to "finish up". The preceding developer
erased all comments, renamed all vars to A, B, C etc. C constants to the
GUI constructs were replaced with their values. It was a nightmare.
Before being able to add a single element to a GUI dialog I had to
reconstruct everything, debug everything, which took months of work.


There is "job security", and then that.
