From: Brad Jensen <brad@elstore.com> Brad and Steve (and the many others that will jump on this over the next few hours), I have heard all these arguments before (pride of ownership, creativeness, etc) and they are *precisely* what is wrong with our "profession". I'll compare (some will say that I can't) programming a large system as akin to producing the engineering blueprints of a major building. In order that the blueprints be understandable and hence useful now and 20 years from now, there is very little room for "creativity" and "personal style". If the original creator of a portion of the blueprint leaves the project another engineer can and should be able to complete the piece without having to start from scratch. The pride in your work comes not from being original but from executing your job in a professional manner. This argument can go on and on and on.
