A company recently asked me to pick up a project where their last team left off. The last team being a really cheap couple of programmers with probably ~2 years experience, if that.
Coded in PHP, it had at least 100 files in the main directory, ~30 sub-directories and another ~40 files in each of those. All of this and not one part of it was object-oriented, all of it used the old mysql_* library functions and no input was sanitised.
I refused the job, it would take longer to finish their code than to start from scratch.
So yeah, you get for what you pay for, never hire cheap programmers.
