I could have written this rant. Excellent stuff :) But, the thing is... programming is easy for some people. If your creative mind turns that way. Like "drawing is easy, anyone can do it", which is true provided you spend most of your waking life drawing. "Music is easy, anyone can do it" - again, true for some. Not for me, I'm almost tone deaf and have no sense of rhythm. But programming is different from Software Development as a career, just like "drawing" is different from "commercial illustration". Being good (or successful) at Software Development doesn't necessary involve being good at programming.
