Clear Up Your Junk!
Submitted by Richard on Tue, 10/13/2009 - 11:30
Doing work for a bunch of different companies and covering their legacy systems even looking back at my own legacy systems, I see a ton of folders and files with "_bak" or the like added to the file name, or even "unused".
This creates so much wasted time and effort trying to clean these up, find out why, is it still needed. That is exactly why we need efficient agile practices and version control in place. Test the code, put it in version control, create a test branch if necessary, but for goodness sake stop me having to deal with these stupid bloody things.
If you do have to use them, test and bin them. This will save us all much time and clear us from this mess.
