People should fucking document their code. I have to implement something using someone's code. And I have no idea what I'm doing.

I am facing the same situation. It's a human resources project. There is no documentation, neither client knows anything nor business analysts know anything. I to don't know what I am coding, as everyone in the project are new including clients.

I think you're describing every single damn project. Ever.

Clients should consider time and resources for documentation

Company I worked for hired another company to create their apps, there's no documentation, and looks as though one guy coded everything, no comments, javadocs or even a simple readme.

Oh and I asked that company if they could check if they had documentation on their end, the accounts manager wanted to charge me for her spending her time searching her servers!

@f03n1x wow.

@puppypower yup and they forgot they were hosting a server for our app (I say host but they forgot about it) anyways I ended up reminding them and in the end we had to pay for them to transfer ownership to us. Seriously of all things paying for your own files is absolutely bullshit, but since I was not at all competent at handling an AWS server myself we had to :/

I looked at the ftp logs they charged us for 20 hours work but it took them 2 hours....

Sorry to randomly rant like that lol, kinda forgot how shitty that company was lol
