I recall in a college programming course in the late 80s where the professor would humiliate those who wrote terrible code riddled with mistakes. The other students didn't appreciate that but it didn't make them work harder. They just tried copying each other and everybody else eventually realizing I could program better than most. So they'd sit next to me and try to get me to help them in class. Needless to say I gave them incorrect advice and they got screamed at by the woman Prof. Made me realize people will take the easy way out.
