This is an issue that I personally deal with almost every day: How developers approach a programming problem from the standpoint of THINKING. I bring this up because recently a co-developer asked for my help with overriding a base class property in an RSS library, and it turned out that the version of the library he was using was, more or less, defunct.

Oh, look, a peeve of mine. Direct quote: "We, as programmers ("Developers", if you prefer) -- are paid to THINK." Wrong, wrong, wrong. Developers are paid to produce software that solves a problem--use engineering terms. Other professions are "paid to think" too, and people in those professions also benefit from lateral vs. vertical thinking.
