The cheap contractors who thought that documentation was a waste of time and that the code was “self documenting”.

Unfortunately, there are expensive engineers who think the same 😦 I don’t know how they pass technical interviews or probationary periods.

Definitely - hiring isn’t easy.

But you’ll never get value for money from engineers who don’t care, and you have a 0% chance of a cheap contractor caring.

Again - I don’t blame them. They shouldn’t care. The company clearly doesn’t respect them.

But it’s a false economy.

True. Some people aren’t paid enough to care 👍

But it’s a false economy.

Is that a typo or a term I don’t know?

Not a typo - a false economy is a decision that saves money in the short term but wastes more than it saves in the long term.
