Ooh, the old 'unprofessional' epithet! What do you mean by that slur here? Most can't agree on what professional even means. Additionally, why should one be held to artificial, inconsistent, and poorly defined standards of 'professionalism' when they aren't a professional?

Something bad enough to bar repeat offenders from the profession (if we even were a profession, which we’re not). For a person I mean "unfit to program code other people rely on". > My care for code robustness scales with income. Good point: the conditions for us to write code that actually works are too rarely met. The only answer I have for this one is political though, not technical.
