Samples, personal hacks, and experimentation? Perhaps. Work for pay? Absolutely not. That's a really important distinction. Any honest coder will admit that the quality level of the code they write that doesn't matter is lower than that of code they write that does matter. Code written for an employer is one kind of code that definitely matters. The code I criticized was clearly work for hire, but was of lower quality than my own throwaway hacks and sample code from my first year as a Java developer. I feel justified in criticizing it, and I seriously doubt that the folks who paid for it were told that the code they got would be of lower quality than the code samples found in a book or available for free on a web site. >I bet your code stinks worse than that which you are critical of.
