Picture two developers; one can take a difficult business problem, boil it down to its essence, and code it, making it simple and understandable. The second developer, by contrast, doesn't really understand it (or take the time to understand it) and hacks away cryptically until he, partly by luck, gets it to work acceptably.

We have a solution to that problem that has work for about 15 years... peer review. If you have to explain your code to another developer, thenit is not going anywhere but back to your desk for a re-write.

Good point, coboldinosaur, it's much harder to do a coverup of one's crummy code if it has to be explained to others.

interesting approach. i still think it's a problem between tech and biz though. great technology is invisible.
