However, I don't question the plumber's competence, or indeed pretend to
anyone including myself that I can do a good job of it.  The same should
apply to programming.  If I were to try my hand at re-plumbing my kitchen,
I know I'd make a god-awful mess, and I am intelligent enough to not
attempt it.  The great unwashed should approach programming the same way.
