Is the cheapest reliable solution to the problem:.

Now what makes something cheap and reliable?
deservedly very well paid developers (not idiots charging the moon). This developer hopefully works with a 'trainee'.

The worst mess I have ever been asked to 'fix' was made by 5 idi.. eh 'C programmers', each with a rate 1/4 of mine, that took 4 times longer, to NOT make a reliable product than it took me to make a solid product.

Unfortunately, experience can not be shared through an occasional post, it takes daily interaction and review by the mentor. This forum, I am sure do help a lot get a step ahead, but who comments on the novices "working" product, I, actually, do not recall any case but this thread. Yes, there are threads "see what I have made" but this one is the first, I believe, expressing doubt "can it be better?"

If you look at the posts here from a non-technical perspective you will se that the majority are "help me get by", the few rays of sunshine "teach me" or "how can I learn" is what makes it all worthwhile.

Now, to give the next generation a chance, I do, as often as possible, work with an 'assistant' they, hopefully, some day will surpass me.
