Oh, that last paragraph. Are you saying the way the world writes software is totally fine? You're entitled to your opinion, but I think that's too big a chasm to bridge in this text box :) I'll just say this: one pattern shared by the best programmers and systems thinkers I've met is that they took the trouble to look under the hood. I really consider this to be a non-saturating metric. The more someone looks under the hood, the better a programmer and systems thinker they are.
