- I would advise that they do have "gurus" to fall back on, but these gurus
- need not be their colleagues. Looking at code written by gurus and
- learning elegant ways to do things is just as useful. For example, at
- Online Computer Systems, two of us wrote a toolkit for building SunView
- applications. After it was complete, we looked at Stanford InterViews and
- then wrote an X/Motif toolkit using ideas we learned from there. The
- difference in quality (maintainability, power, whatever) between the two
- toolkits is astounding.
