My suspicion was that larger projects done with better tools results in near equal amount of time invested. Everything you say could be right, I still struggle

My suspicion was that larger projects done with better tools results in near equal amount of time invested. Everything you say could be right, I still struggle to understand how people who call themselves programmers can't do fizzbuzz, but one of the great things about being a programmer is that you don't have to go to University and get a degree (I didn't), so I don't think the linked article really provides much input. Interesting read though.
