I think you missed the point.

produce : chef :: code : programmer

chefs use produce to create dishes of food; chefs do not generally grow their own food. the point they were making is that the code is actually the means to the end, not the end in itself. to wit: i do not write assembly.

This may be more correct than you know. Chefs actually don't cook food customers eat. They plan the menu and manage the operations. The cooks cook.

		They know how to cook and can if needed, but usually don't bother as they have 15 other restaurants to manage.

No, I understand the point, it means that people drawing the analogies don't understand the original intent was production, not consumption.
