Very illustrative of why computer programming has moved to development of individual modules; allows for re-use of prior work without having to re-accomplish creative activity. Further illustrates that as companies' customer bases grow, there is a need to address additional staff and division of labor. Had Tempus hired an assistant to take the customer orders, i.e. shared his profits, he might very well still be in business.
