Just worked on a project using LEAN. What we would do is let all developers deliver the same prototype. At the end we evaluate each one, pick the best and move on. In diverse projects, different developers will excel in different areas. This was one way we could quickly see who is strong in which areas making later task assignments easier - especially when you are done with prototyping and now need to add all the other functional requirements. This sounds very similar...

I was learning and coding on my own steam for about 15+ years. Then I joined the ACM (two years now) and my eyes opened. I am now about 1/3 though a B.Sc in CS (part time) and I'm also following a CPD program at another University. I have also joined the IEEE as I required access to more material for my studies. What I realized was that I should have done it from the start. So my advice is simply this: start to follow some part time programs and get the theory as well. I have learned in the last two odd years a lot on subjects like modelling, quality assurance, frameworks and architectures which I otherwise would not have known. I also found that the quality of my code has greatly improved since I now work in a much more structured way.

Experience helps, but the real killer deal is experience backed by a CS/Eng. degree.
