This is one of the most absurd statements I've ever read. Segmenting sections of your code to different programmers with different levels of experience, education and in some cases, language, is why so many people have hard to maintain websites, vulnerable code and no documentation.

Then again, it's people like you who hire those of us that know what we are doing to write it from scratch and make more money, so, carry on
