Most of the fun is in solving the problem, not in building the solution. Unfortunately, as I am finding in my day job, managing people by showing them how it should be done rarely works, unless you like to sit behind them all day and watch them type. If you don't do it yourself, it won't get done right. I've found that most people don't care about writing good code, they just care about getting it done. There is plenty of room for people like that in this world, I'm just not one of them and have a hard time working with them. Regardless of the <a href="http://revjim.net/archives/2002/12/21/3955.php">problems I have with the b2 codebase</a>, each chunk of code seems to be coded well enough to be fixed with minimal amounts of effort. It beats writing the whole thing from scratch. I agree with you. Most of the fun is in solving the problem, not in building the solution.
