Thats a very good point. I agree totally. Finding 10 copies of a for loop with identical copied code really sucks.

I think that's a pretty good summary Kyley. Although I would add "the ability to factor new functionality into generic classes/procedure, to maximise code reuse".
I can't count the number of times I've seen so-called "experienced" programmers copy and paste existing code. It drives me crazy. If there's a bug somewhere, I only want to fix it once!

Meeting deadlines in itself is a very bad measure. Too often have I seen people "Meet the deadline" but the cost of ownership because 4 times what it should have because of implementation. It's good to have someone that can assess the time of a job based on their own limitations, (and be accurate to +/- 25% :D )
