That’s called specialization. :)

I think I may have uglified a few CL programs by using the F4 keys over the years.

?Those people just frustrate the bejeebers out of me. At my last job, that I retired from, my manager had no problem whatsoever with the fact that I fully embraced free-format. Granted, he said he couldn't follow it well but he loved my productivity.

Try as I might, there were two long-time coders there that never even made an attempt. It killed me to see one of my nicely indented CL's with subroutines butchered by one of them while I was out on an 8-week leave.

On the flip side, I always tried to push off the maintenance of the old stuff onto one of them. <grin>

I told my boss that these folks who were unwilling to learn were just stealing from the company. Getting paid like 30 year experienced employees but really only had 1 year experience repeated 29 more times.
