Concept of the day: cargo cults
Cargo cults are a delightful new concept to me, from the excellent and thought provoking blog entry, internal code re-use considered dangerous, which in turn was a link from another blog entry, is your code worthless? which in turn was a link from theserverside.com. Now that’s provenance baby. Too much information?

I hadn’t heard about cargo cults before, but couldn’t resist talking about it when I discovered some cargo cultish behaviour in a code review today. Thanks Matt.
