This article is so pompous. Calling people "amateurs" when they get paid to do something is hilarious at best and damaging to new developers at worst. It reeks of the "No True Scotsman" fallacy, by listing a set of good practices and then claiming that you're not a "true professional" unless you grok all of that. Get this Gen X snobby attitude out of software development. You're making it harder for the rest of us to hire developers we'd actually want to work with rather than snobby douchebags like yourself.
