Shattering the myth of the faultless programmer

What's this ? I never heard of this kind of myth before. Faultless programmers... You must be kidding me !

From the article:
The success or failure of any software programming group depends largely on its ability to work together as a team

That's not how i see it. The success or failure of programming projects (and therefore the groups involved) depends mostly on doing the right thing !

Most problems I have encountered in my programming career have hardly ever been technical.

It is a good thing to improve your technical skills, I admit. But if you are doing the wrong thing it doesn't really matter how good you are at it !

Yup, If it wasn't for Perl we'd have to use the next best thing, Python. (sorry if my whitespace if off)

(oooh, flamebait of an offtopic post! doesn't get any better than this baby!)
