> If that's what happens with your developers, you need new developers or new management I don't think so, it's just human nature and other pressures besides the purely technical ones: like the pressure to just get a task done, or to get the job done as easily as possible, and so on...[1] As programmers we tend to think the the biggest challenges are technical, but they aren't: the social problems are a way bigger factor. Also the problem I'm describing here applies to large low-complexity codebases, to be worked on by large teams. These are common in 'enterprise' settings, which is why I think design patterns have so much appeal there.
