I have a different theory. I think the real reason is that writing code is easier than reading. Literally, it's psychologically more comfortable to write code than to read it.

- ozim 2y agoThis is part of it that I agree with. Downside is those devs forget that in 3-6 months of not working on that part will have the same feelings. I work on the same system for 10 years now, I moved to a more dev ops position and don't write that much code, when I pick up some ticket I am really amazed to find out code that I am working on changing for the ticket is something I wrote a year or two years ago and I have no memories of writing that because I was doing thousands other tasks in different places of the system.
