When he apparently was a programmer, this was a bit more normal.

I've met a few professors requiring uni assignments' code printed.

When he wrote code at PayPal, people kept having to go back and fix it. He doesn't know what he's doing.

OK. I just meant that one can demand that as a sign of respect or something. With a sufficient degree of narcissism.

I imagine that a university level coding assignment and the backend code that runs the Twitter.com website (albeit just fractions of it) are several orders of magnitude apart from each other in terms of size and complexity. I don't know shit about programming though, I took C++ in high school and got a D+. Should've called the class Introduction to D++.
