The above explains why Gerald Weinberg, in The Psychology of Computer Programming (written in the 1970s, and still applicable), states that if a programmer becomes indispensable, you should fire him immediately. I will buy into this congruence buzzword, if this is the same Gerald Weinberg who wrote Psychology of Computer Programming.
