I'll bet some developers are literally "embarrassed" to write and share "simple" code.

Maybe "trivial" is good.

If you can "write something in a weekend", it's easy to maintain. If you lose the code, you can rewrite it. And maybe it will be better the second time.

When a project becomes so complex you cannot easily rewrite it, is that a good thing?



Well, we know what happens when something becomes "too big to fail", don't we?
