I too, don't understand why people think anyone could be a programmer if it wasn't for the existing programmers. What is considered a good grade in school? I think most parents would be happy with their children coming home with 90% grades. That's 1 error in 10 attempts. That is a pretty abysmal fault rate in an actual computer program. Even most experienced programmers fail to consider everything that can go wrong with a system, but that is what is required to make fault tolerant systems. There is no silver bullet[1], and I wish people that wrote articles like this would go out and read that essay and actually attempt to tackle the thesis of that essay instead of just asserting the opposite.
