When teaching at a tech college I made myself a lot of enemmies among the students (fortunately, they were last year students ) by organizing a large project in four stages. For each stage, each project team would take over the results from another team, done in the preceeding stages.
Even as last year students, they would not at all accept that in half a year, that would be their normal working mode: Taking over the work of other people, leaving their own work for someone else to take further. Throughout 16 years of schooling, they had never before experienced such a thing, and they found it utterly meaningless to be forced to do so in this project.
What they hated the most was not having to clean up the code of others (which all the teams thought themselves perfectly capable of doing), but to give their own work over to classmates, revealing to them all their shortcoming and weaknesses. When I forced them to do that, it was like ordering them to strip naked in front of the class.
I am quite sure that after a year in a programming position, most of them were perfectly comfortable with exchaning code with others. But I was truly shocked seing how intense objections against it they had in their last few months of college course work before becoming IT professionals.

Yeah its really depend on that someone. Don't know if it's just me, but I really hate inherit projects developed by "Self-taught" programmers. Nothing seems to flow well and the code are just spaghetti duct-taped it together.

I AM a self-taught programmer...
Well, I was taught.
By someone who didn't think we needed interfaces because we had base classes, wrote SQL code directly in forms and wrote 100s of lines long functions.
Be glad I taught myself a thing or two

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

And a software application is never finished until the project is retired.

The survey requires a rating for every item, but I do not have a rating for all of them.
Ratings must be optional.
