Code - having to maintain code written by overseas contractor: SMP !

Yep  that's correct and i would like to add one more thing:-
Developer : To take over an other module at the end to resolve bugs, having very little or no knowledge, hence increasing the number of bugs.
In this case, how do you convey this message to the management?
And, the most important thing. Your profile is wonderful, must have taken a lot of efforts. Even i want to experiment the same.
Please advice.

I don't quite get what you mean by "experiment the same". As for the profile? It's just how my head works. By no means did I, nor would I, spend a lot of time on it.
Taking a leap at what you want - it's really just nature. Various people on and off CodeProject have their own nature and that leads them to how the do 'things' that can be done many ways. Coding does reflect quite a bit of the coder's nature.
Mine - I don't seem to have any boundaries in how my mind stores information. The cost of my last purchase of Jamaican Curry powder could be mentally adjacent to how a foreach loop is written in php. It doesn't matter - all things are part of all problem solving. There's a Latin quote for that: "If I cannot find a way I'll make one" - it's Hannible or Alexander the Great, or someone like that. That kind of view along with embracing insanity with gusto.
Look below, if you wish, to the link "Ravings en mass"
Me? - I'm heading home within the next few seconds.

"Throw it together over the weekend quickly for a demo on Monday." they said.
"We won't release it, it's just a technology demo to show what could be done."
Yeah.
Right.
Last time, I had to maintain that POS for three damn years... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm with you on that one. I have an app that was supposed to demonstrate to the user that we could gather their data from multiple sources, ingest it and spit it back out on a webpage. New items kept getting added to it for "demonstration" purposes. It has now been in prod for 3+ years and they just keep adding to it. It's a horrible POS I have to maintain.

Dont believe that. It will get released.

I was young.
And stupid.
I believed my manager, and the sales department. 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And especially on the day of the demo when the customer says
"This is not we wanted" 
|

Oh, god. I have something similar. I'm withholding names and won't go into specifics to protect the innocent.
At a previous job, I'd been telling the boss for years something he wanted automated couldn't be automated, unless he hired somebody to maintain the automation code, pretty much as a full-time job. Basically, the process being automated was a moving target.
So one day he decided to go ahead anyway and wrote the code over a weekend. It only worked for a week. And yes, somebody had to maintain his code all the time from that point forward.

Being told your little side project you had been working on, because you were never really sold on the current design would work.
Well they hit the wall and now your baby is it, only you aren't really sure about it either

Oh sh*t, I'm doing a prototype in WPF for a Java project - I hope like hell they don't go forward with the WPF

4) Unsupported code

Multi-Byte Vs Unicode; why on earth was it not dealt with the day after it was discovered that there are people outside of Europe and USA. Windows should have been 100% unicode every since it no longer depends on MS-DOS.

Yep and especially when they say:
"I think we would not be needing the feature you have developed. Its redundant" after banging heads on weekends and after prior instructions.
