Different people like different challenges. I, for one, love to make changes in other peoples (hopefully) badly written code and if it has no documentation the better! It beats the crap out of trying to make changes in my own old code. <vbg>

>I'm curious. How much of your work involves working with existing code? A lot of mine does, and most of what I run into is badly written and even more badly documented, where it was written by a programmer or a power user. Sometimes, the code is bad enough that I walk away from the job; sometimes, I just know that I have to walk with care. Occasionally, I'm dealing with an app that's well-constructed even if it isn't the way that I would have done it, but that's the exception, not the rule.
