I'm both a professional programmer and a fairly accomplished writer. Although I wholeheartedly agree with your statement that writers deserve fair compensation, I must take issue with your position on programming. Software design is anything BUT "mindless robotic number crunching." Apparently, you haven't taken the time to open your eyes to the mass of highly creative software projects surrounding you.
I find it disturbing that you have tossed two completely unrelated topics into the same bucket, while taking crack shots at the programming community. Get a clue or get left behind. And try sticking to the topic when Slashdotting.
Incidentally, I'm sure I don't have to mention the manner in which Charles Dickens was paid...

My junk address if you have any more crap to spew.
I can't stand Anonymous Cowards...
