Been there, done that. At least, most likely so... there is a chance,
albeit slim, that the boss/owner will either discover someone who'll
finish the project for him, or find the time to finish it himself. I
gather he's looking at ripping all my code out and replacing it with
PHP of his own design, which should be fun. On the plus side, that
does mean he can get any idiot straight out of a uni course to do the
work; much easier than finding someone who knows Python, Pike, bash,
and C++. The White King told Alice that cynicism is a disease that can
be cured... but it can also be inflicted, and a promising-looking
N-year project that collapses because the boss starts getting stupid
with code formatting rules and then ends up firing his last remaining
competent employee is a pretty effective means of instilling cynicism.
