    Similar applications don’t have to be programmed from scratch every time.

    This sounds exactly like a COBOL programmer turned manager I met early in my career.

    I demand my right to access military supplies management software code. And a nice Makefile to build that thing at home. Yeah, I have the right to that shit too. For recreational purposes.

    Now this is some fancy gourmet quality Dilbert’s pointy haired boss shit right there, oh yeah.

    Dunno folks, I’m not convinced.
