Agree: at one level.

However, consider the statement saying "code is read more often than it
is written". Thereafter, the meaning of "working"...

Yes, it is likely that if we both tackled the same requirement, our
delivered-code would be different. We may have used different paradigms
or structures to 'get there'. This is not particularly at-issue if, as
you say, they are 'working code'.

However, software is subject to change.

At which time, the ability with which we could read each-other's code,
or code from our 6-months-ago self; becomes a major contributor to the
success of the new project! Thus, my code *works* on the computer, but
does it *work* for you - will you be able to take it and *win*?
