Well, that has nothing to do w/ Fusebox. Any programming methodology will offer
this benefit. The key is having one in place and sticking to it.

See above. This is not unique to fusebox.

If you are not a consultant, that is complete hogwash, I think. Especially with
today's job market. Fusebox (or whatever methodology the company uses) should be more
than
willing to train on the methodology. If you already know the language (What company
doesn't have enough trouble finding people who know the language?), learning the
coding practices should be easy enough.
I did one job, where the first thing they did was sit me down and outline the
coding practices. It took about a half hour sitting down with the lead developer.
I took notes, and then followed them. No problems.

As I said previously, any methodology worth its salt should offer this. If
I don't know fusebox, then your app isn't going to be any easier to follow than
some other unknown methodology. (It probably will be easier to follow than
random coding, though)
