My post "From coding whore to opinionated developer?" earned some comments which put me in the position of a spoiled whining smartass...
Now Jay Fields has posted The Cost of Net Negative Producing Programmers.
Here two quotes that remind me of the theme of my post:
These NNPP architects build entire armies of NNPPs around them and single-handedly waste millions, if not billions of dollars, annually. And, potentially worse, they ruin or at least drastically hurt the careers of eager to learn teammates.
I do think there are things we can do to help move the industry in the right direction. The good programmers can refuse to work with bad programmers. That might mean moving to an organization where that's a goal, or making that a goal of your current organization.
... it seems that Jay is quite opinionated!
(Eric Evans from Domain Driven Design did say something in the same direction.)
On the same front Obie is blogging about Attributes of Good Clients.
