No business will dare call or sms me in the middle of the night yet they see no problem with sending me an email.
When will businesses realize that we now have different methods and that the same sort of rules should apply to all?"

When programming I often find code seems to grow and grow in size and becomes quite unmanageable, difficult for newcomers to pick-up and rather fixed in what can be changed. The forumpix.co.uk code is constantly growing as new features are added and code is optimised. I know object oriented programming helps to split code into "bite-sized-chunks" but what unique ways do you manage code that's growing in size? Each time I come back to a piece of code I feel I have to learn the code all over again to be able to work with it, seems like a lot of wasted time to me?"
