It's quite possible that you need to be the top 10 percentile to sling together CRUD apps. I think trying to minimize the difficulty of what we do is a little insulting. Even the dumbest software developers I've met are sharper th

There is some crap like that still kicking around. Why you need to create a Comparator class to provide a single function for sorting or filtering out duplicate items is silly, when a Func <T, bool> lambda would work? Because it'

The equivalent in writing for what most programmers do would be marketing, PR, journalism, or technical writing. You can get a paying job to write, it's just going to be that kind of writing - not for your Next Great American Novel.
