"We could if we all worked on one-man projects where you are the only one that reads the code that you write. The reality of the situation is, one day someone else will need to understand and modify your code."
Please don't patronize me. I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm working on a team of developers. They even work in the same room as I do.
Secondly, my argument is about 5 miles away from the argument you are arguing against. I'm arguing about organizational issues. I'm not saying that any developer needs to be able to be "incosiderate" all he wants (whatever that means). Guess what? Some shops do well by being agile. Some shops do well by not being agile. Some shops (if you can find them) do well by using Haskell. And there are a ton of shops out there that don't. What I'm getting at is that just because something didn't work for you in your particular situation doesn't mean it's bad.
