I was both of those developers at different times, at least metaphorically.
I drank from the OO koolaid at one point. I was really into building things up using OOD and creating extensible, flexible code to accomplish everything.
And when I showed some code I'd written to my brother, he (rightly) scoffed and said that should have been 2-3 lines of shell script.
And I was enlightened. ;)
Like, I seriously rebuilt my programming philosophy practically from the ground up after that one comment. It's cool having a really smart brother, even if he's younger than me. :)
