I once worked on a system used to assist in controlling security for banks, government premises, and suchlike.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostNice.
I got told off once for naming developers in code, when I explained why it didn't conform to standards
I was young, though.
The MD of the company made us take our names out of the code in case it fell into the wrong hands - it would put us and our families at risk of kidnap by violent crimnals and terrorists who wanted to coerce us into helping them crack the security systems

He's honestOriginally posted by TheFaQQer View PostIs he any good, or is the comment true?
He's very good, I think this was referring to a quick hack he had to throw together to get something working quickly - it was more showing somebody else how to set about it rather than production code.
Although we all know how that usually turns out
