I might add: we (and and I mean all of us, including the best developers on this list) improve our skills by listening to each other argumentation. And I am not talking only about coding skills. Proper code review is sufficiently rare that one should appreciate it when it comes. Source code *is meant* to be rewritten/erased/transformed, there should be no personal feeling involved if this happens.

From "brian's Guide to Solving Any Perl Problem", in _Mastering Perl_:

Forget about code ownership. You may think yourself an artist, but even the Old Masters produced a lot of crap. Everybody's code is crap, which means my code is crap and your code is crap. Learn to love that. When you have a problem, your first thought should be "Something is wrong with my crappy code." That means you do not get to blame Perl [or anyone or anything else--RH]. It is not personal.

Couldna said it betta.
