He's honest

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

Yep - I worked with a real techie many years ago who threw loads of examples together for the project (he told me "I shouldn't be allowed to write production code any more").

When the system went live, if it timed out the error message "Failed to dequeue wait on pipe error" was displayed to the call centre operator

Version control system. Yet another one

Ah - not worked with that one.

PVCS Dimensions / CVS for me.

or failing that, a flat file folder on a network drive.

You're still way ahead - the gap isn't closing much at the moment, but I'll have Zeity soon.

I use Subversion for my own stuff.

He was a top bloke, and has forgotten more about Oracle than I'll ever know, but that was a classic. They didn't even replace the error message, as it was hard-coded.
