Why some programmers pay much attention to what the others say about programming, how they write their code, try to convince, change their mind?


Let's say, a program is written by someone. For various reasons, we may choose to use it or not. But isn't the key criteria: does it work for us?


I use so much software of which I have no slightest idea what the code looks like. Yet it works!


Why would I try to convince someone how to write their code? I can see this is a popular sport. Yet I must be missing something. What's the thrill?


Oh yeah, and why are there so many different programming languages? Can there be just one or two?
