  1. Says that I am idealist, but my entire career has been focused on adding business value. I don’t agree with your scoring scheme. I spent many years as a contractor and was kept around when other contractors were let go because I understood that the products I developed were useful only in so much as the software allows people to do more useful, higher value activities. I do, however, value elegance because elegance often means the code is better.
