I’m baffled by the level of offence you’re taking at the idea that this is all part of a programmer’s job. Nobody needs to go to college to become a hobbyist programmer, it serves students very poorly to treat them that way. It’s the same reason we teach algorithms instead of just how to google. Code doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

This is a strawman, I never said these things aren't a part of a programmer's job. > Nobody needs to go to college to become a hobbyist programmer Nobody needs to do enterprise programming on hobby projects, you learn that on the job. For a hobby project it is more important that the project is fun, and very few find enterprise coding fun.
