Now I can somehow understand the reason why Caleb "The Continent" didn't want his teammates to touch his code. It is very reasonable from a view of a programmer: thinking about all the stuff like combining code of two people, reading code of others, dependencies of components, etc. You will always wonder if you can do it faster by doing all by yourself.
But well, a continent is not yet a global, and is far from a galaxy. The ability of 1 programmer is yet limited to some scope. Only by combining the skills of all people can we achieve a greater goal. Problems and obstacles are there not to be avoided but to be solved. If now we are not really excellent at team programming, consider all these project as a chance to develop the ability.
Cool Stuff Hung! I think you're really enlightened. Its not easy for top programmers to be able to realize that synergy in a team is far greater than the sole ability of one person.
