The average thread on PerlMonks (at least when I was a heavy reader) eventually turns to code golf. The voting system of PerlMonks rewards this. Trying to force that culture of expression and code gymnastics to write a maintainable codebase just isn't worth it in my opinion. Don't adopt a voting system like that of PerlMonks in your business, I guess. Or else hire responsible adults. That seems straightforward enough.
