That won't work.  He then would say "We had a lousy bunch of developers at
that time and - Hey Kevin, weren't you on that project?"

 

LOL!

Wrong Nial, the last part of that line should have read "and replacing  your
name in  the change records and source code with that of the manager who
took credit for all of it anyway."

I'm fairly sure that last sentence is cut short, surely it should read

 

The story of the "Vision" database and Mr Lewis' "worst of all worlds"
application, make you wonder how people could make such awful mistakes, but
you then find yourself poking about your own business applications, looking 
for similar design suspects and erasing your name from the change records
and source code with that of a long departed and disliked colleague

 

someone once said something about motes and planks, but no-one ever paid
much attention when constructing IT departments.
