I have to laugh about this because it is so true. One of my old bosses was *very* impressed by this guy she wanted to hire that spent 7 years at NASA developing some sort of web app that he said contained over 30,000 lines of code in JAVA. When she showed me a link to it, to show me how *good* he was, I almost fell out of my chair laughing. She asked me why, and I said.. "One second" and proceeded to duplicate what he wrote in *10* lines of Perl. -In 2 minutes unfortunately, my fingers weren't very stable while I was laughing. Most of you I'm sure hate Microsoft, and some may hate Google, but you'll see that both of them have done research that proves that *1* good programmer is worth *200* or so "monkeys with a typewriter" (a great song if you are familiar with it). In my current Fortune 10 job my boss proved that I do more than *400* times the work of anyone else on my team and yet I have time to ask for additional work that's not required of me, and time to help other people in unrelated departments, and yet I still only work a 40 hour work week. My advice.. Less monkeys, more typewriters. Or if you don't like that one.. go with the tried and true.. "Too many cooks in the kitchen".
