I know you are not that guy...
...because you are reading this post. But you know who I mean. The developer who found some code that did a generic dblookup for a combo box with easily configured messages--and then pasted that code everywhere, without knowing what it did.
Hey, code re-use is a good thing. But he didn't see the part where it was checking to see if the database is on an OS2 server! Then there's the guy who continues to modify the code in that $$WebQueryOpen field, rather than moving the code to the more appropriate event handler.
This is the same developer that doesn't know about
PlanetLotus.Org.
Or
OpenNTF.org. Or
LotusUserGroup.org.
He might know about the forums. He might even keep the handouts from his "Introduction to Notes" development course. Every once in a while I run into one of these caveman developers - they stay in their caves and don't take advantage of the vast resources available in the Lotus community. So what I do is tell them I know about some fantastic tip--I just don't remember the details... But look on PlanetLotus (or OpenNTF or wherever) and you'll find it.
What do you do when you run into one of these developers?
