RE: IBM pushing Java

Or the temporary/contract programmer whose only gonna work at your place
for 6 months and doesn't care about your standards, but just wants to
churn out code!

                I agree with you. In most cases, the companies dont have
any strict control 
                over creating new objects. But, I have seen synon shops
which do  "code 
                reviews" bofore promoting pgms into the production
environment.  The code 
                reviewer is supposed to make sure every new object
created has a valid 
                purpose.  But I strongly believe that the programmers
themselves have to 
                assume more responsibility in this issue. I also belive
this comes with 
                experience.  Usualyy the newer/younger programmer are
more interested in 
                cranking out more code faster - they dont like to spend
that extra bit of 
                time searching for existing objects.
