Thanks.

We have a lot of that issue of "hire contractors to build, then use FTEs to maintain". I try to push back where I can because contractors that know up-front that they won't have to support the system are often not inclined to either follow standards (which are less exciting, I know, but make maintenance more predictable) and/or not be concerned about avoiding excessive technical debt up front.
