In this age of technology, while web developers are
considered one of the highly skilled professionals, they sometimes let their
mentors down by not writing original program codes. Moreover they don’t really
find anything wrong in copying other’s code. Whilst it is fine to refer
someone’s program code, copying codes can be sometime a threat to your career. But,
why web developers do so, even sometimes when they are aware of consequences? Well
there can be a plenty of reasons, here are just few of them.
Lack of time: This
is the most common reason why web developers start referring open sources or
commercial software to copy codes. The lack of time to complete given module on
time leaves no options left to the developers but to copy. For lack of time,
managers or team leads can be held as guilty, because they often stipulate time
unreasonably to complete the project, which later becomes a reason for
developers to hurry.
Laziness: In
other condition, even if the time line set for the project is reasonable, it is
the team members who turn lazy (like in the rabbit and tortoise story) right at
the time when they should act fast. They become over confidant that they can
complete their job on time as they don’t face any trouble in the initial
modules, but later regret when the avalanche of bugs start to appear in their
mails.
Lack of interest:
Often web developers don’t find any interest in their project. Probably because
he is working on the same project for very long and is not approve by software
testers, there is nothing much to do in the project, or the work is not versatile.
There can be thousands of reasons including the personal issues of the
professional because of which he might last interest.
