I am of the firm belief that code reuse is a personal responsibility, and should never be a corporate endeavor. Unfortunately, thousands of CIOs and project managers disagree. There is a pervasive attitude among out-of-touch higher-ups that the distribution and reuse of code among developers will instantly reduce man hours and costs. On the surface, the logic is sound, but in the trenches this attitude stifles the emergence of greatness.

Silly. I've been in so many shops where the same function has been implemented in three almost correct ways by three different developers. The trouble in the software industry isn't in cultivating occasional greatness, it's in eliminating the WTFs.
