NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

That's something that should have been done privately and directly to the person involved.

How do you know Ben's criticism is accurate?  How do you know Sundar hasn't learned to write better code since that time?

This was not the appropriate place for his criticism.

All he did was to provide transparency, now we are discussing the issues. Kristina gave very valid points about the 'delivery of crappy code' and not being able to take action because they are in another country.  

Another point is that this why we have standards of development practices, these standards shouldn't be compromised they can bend a bit but not break. Sundar needs to seek them out and adhere to them.

I know it may seem harsh but it may help Sundar down the line in his growth.  As well as protect a small struggling company, thinking they are saving money but  falling into a trap.

Ben did a good thing.

I'm sorry Donna, but I disagree.
 
It's perfectly fine to express a view about someone's work.
 
Of course we make errors in our code, everybody does.  But you can't evaluate experience without examining ones work.
 
And employers DO give out this information.  Especially if an individual was let go because of inability.
 
Finally, I'm having a problem imagining rows of unemployed PHP coders down and out on skid-row in cardboard boxes, homeless, because their work was criticized.
 
Bye,

It's not only unethical to publicly disparage an individual's ability to perform a job, you could be subject to legal action.

Have you ever made an error while performing your job duties?

Even a former employer would not give out this type of information.  Do you want to be responsible for someone not getting work, and ending up homeless on the street, because of your personal opinion about their work, which may or may not be valid?  

This is not the same as publicly criticizing a particular product, or a company's business practice.

Hey,

I audited a site this guy built - it was full of holes - SQL injection, 
XSS, default passwords on CMS admin accounts, etc.

Also, the code was PHP4 w/HTML sprinkled all over it, cut and paste, no 
functions. No layouts, templates or
 smarty.
Basically, impossible and very time consuming to make updates.

Be sure to request some source before you work with him.

- Ben
