I don't have much in the way of real insight on the matter (frankly, Abigail's response said everything I might say, and much better than I would say it), but I thought it interesting that several people have responded along the lines of an Engineer vs Craftsman analogy. I'd like to think they're in this frame of mind because of my very recent Meditation on the subject ((OT) Programming as a craft), but maybe I'm just being presumptuous. In any case, nice Meditation.
