Updating a Portfolio: An Inquiry Into Ethics and Employability
Let's say you have a web portfolio of some web sites that you built.
And let's say you've found a few errors that you didn't catch in 2002.
Maybe even throw in a little obsolete code, which wasn't actually obsolete at the time.
...Is is ethical to clean it up? Is it ethical to present something that, for all intents and purposes, looks and functions almost exactly the same as it did back then, yet has been tweaked to fix small errors?
In other words: is it okay for me to fix my mistakes?
