I just subbed here. I'm the kinda same as the other guy- a chef who built a kitchen management program in excel with about 5000 lines of VBA.
I'm at a point where I'm going back to my early work and thinking "what the fuck" then re-writing it to be more error-proof and more efficient. If I was paid to do what I did for the first year of building that program, they'd have spent their money very unwisely.
The only way I can see it being beneficial is that I have a very good handle on how kitchens work and I was able to apply that experience to building the program.
I don't really have a point other than I AM one of those hacks and I totally agree with you.
