Re: Help! Boss wants to know why ILE?

Another reason will have to do with the ability to recruit staff in the
future. Experienced staff will want to at least be current on technology.
A company that isn't interested in keeping it's staff current with
technology isn't willing to invest in it's own future. Who wants to stay
with a company that has a limited future. Younger programming staff won't
understand the old style code, if they've only worked in /free style
(Written by an old coder who still hasn't changed).

For example, how many managers/salesmen will the company attract if they
give them a 1985 car that's had 5 engine/transmission replacements?
Telling them it goes faster on less fuel won't hide the fact that its
_old_.
