"We" is programmers as a group, in > We're in a funny profession where we're both the people making and using the tools. I don't mean that every single programmer is making and using the tools, just that the skillset for making and using the tools is pretty similar. Note that I said "we can go <bla>". I'm not really advocating stopping what you're doing to tinker with your tools. It's just that it's often a tantalising possibility which people in other professions are less tempted by. As you say, though, if you want to get anything done, you have to resist the temptation.
