The obvious (and correct) solution to this problem is to only use bright, thoughtful programmers. Instead, the software community reacted by putting in place safeguards and frameworks and processes.
This misses the point. The fundamental fact of the software industry is that the demand for software exceeds the supply of good programmers by about an order of magnitude. Many of the irrational properties of the industry can be deduced from that.
