Looks like the woodpecker has arrived.

I disagree vehemently that programmers build lousy programs. Many of us do quite the contrary.

But this is hilarious, and hence I am upvoting.

We’re in the “wooden dwellings” era of software.

Some cathederals are built, over time, by craftsmen who do work that spans decades.

However, very few of us are doing that. Most people are just throwing up a shack to live in.
