Re: The increasing amount of pre-canned code
This year, we were blessed to have our school continue the team with leftover funds that we happened to have found, just a month before kick-off. We didn't really have time to recruit new members like we wanted, so we ended up with no student programmers. That left myself, who is great with web programming, but completely lost with C++/Java. We ended up using Java, and the pre-canned code was a Godsend.
I think it just helps newer teams or teams with fewer resources than most to get something working, and in the case of Java, it's documented pretty well, so we can easily fix the code if we need to. I'm the type of person that learns by editing others' code, not starting from scratch. That's how I learned PHP, Smarty, MySQL, etc.
