They may fail to find the nuts they hid themselves, but they may find those hidden by other squirrels and they will find the tree that may grow out of a well hidden nut. So hiding and failing to find the nuts is good for the nut producing trees which is in turn good for the nut eating animals. Imagine they could find all they hid ... what would new trees grow out of? And what would the squirrels eat once the current generation of trees grow too old to produce nuts? :-)
How does that relate to programming ... maybe ... what would we do if the code we once wrote could always be reused?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
