Solution - training?

• “So, maybe the solution is to get management to invest more in training. But this isn’t always the solution. The mangers I had when I wrote High Church C++ tried to do the right thing. Is it not reasonable to assume that someone who has been on a C++ course can maintain a system written in C++? As Alan Griffiths pointed out, this is about as reasonable as expecting someone that has been on a car maintenance course to change the tires during an F1 pitstop. The answer of course is: No, knowing C++ is a requirement for maintaining a C++ based system but it isn’t sufficient of itself.”
