This, of course, does not take into the account the iternativeness (that's not a word, is it?) of the programming process. I would disagree. Cooking is very it

This, of course, does not take into the account the iternativeness (that's not a word, is it?) of the programming process. I would disagree. Cooking is very iterative; I know some people that are amazing cooks, and when they make the same thing, its rarely the exact same thing, intentionally. They'll vary the amount of spices, for example.
