My profession is not, and never was, _programmer_. Lines of code—the actual text, is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. I'll take heat for that here for sure. But do you think a carpenter considers himself "one who screws nails" or "glues joints"? No, the small minutiae of the job was never the job itself.

Sure, but a carpenter who is unable to use a screwdriver without hurting themselves is unlikely to produce robust furniture with a a powered driver.
