The idea isn't to make the code unreadable. Obviously anyone working on it needs to be able to read and understand it. This idea was brought on while reading a Wikipedia page about modular programming: "Theoretically, a modularized software project will be more easily assembled by large teams, since no team members are creating the whole system, or even need to know about the system as a whole. They can focus just on the assigned smaller task." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_programming I don't mind system administration but I don't want to be a programmer any more. I'd like to hire programmers to work in the manner described above. They would each work on modules and not know about the system as a whole. How can something like this be implemented? - Grant
