Right, they are not stupid, but foolish.

How do you explain, that:
- the old driver was producing so many problems, that the company asked for a rewrite
Sigh. I have seen so many commercial quality code in the last 10 years, that I really wonder why I did not get eye-cancer yet.
Seriously, looking back at my own code I can clearly see the improvement which was imposed to my coding style and my way of thinking about problems through the community review and collaboration process.
It seems that many of these improvement just have been prohibited by company policies and stubborness on both the managment and the developers side.
