I upvoted this comment because it is correct and valuable advice. Having had a professional career as programmer now for about a decade and a half, it's my considered opinion that about nine out of ten people getting paid to write software today really shouldn't be [paid to write software]. In other words, 90% of programmers or "software engineers" (what a sick joke that title is!) should be fired; the quality of software would improve dramatically.
