Yes, that is true. (Nice reference, btw. 1st Corinthians is one of the better Epistles, in my opinion.) But, I think acknowledgement that it cuts both ways is necessary. When you are part of a team, you have to be willing to work within the team in order to make the team work. Otherwise, it's nothing but a disparate group of individuals each going their own way. While that works for massive groups, it doesn't work for tightly focused groups that need to produce a cohesive product. Diplomacy, the art of getting along, is all about compromise.

I'm not saying that everyone should submit to the Collective. I'm saying that you can't have rabid individualism and still expect to produce a good product.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
