me: let's avoid duplicate code by using a user control instead of copying the form code on multiple pages.

jerk face: you're over complicating it.

Nice that's how it should be done some folks are a bit thick

I once developed an app where all user permissions were handled in the database so you could easily scale them and visibility into what everyone can do. the project lead for the client made me hard code them into every template file against my objections. then 2 months later they emailed complaining it was hard to change permissions and there were multiple permissions inside template files. my response was that I agree, however that's what you wanted so if you want it improved you have to handle

Bad developers are good to say at the wrong time that something is too complex or to simple.
