How incredibly arrogant. I would totally hire a semiskilled carpenter to put up a tool shed in the back yard. Not so much a NYC high rise. I would also gladly hire an apprentice electrician to put in a new overhead light fixture, but not to wire up my 440v industrial machinery.
There's nothing dangerous about semiskilled programming, providing they are doing work that is appropriate for semiskilled programmers. I'm no more going to hire Thomas Knoll to write my company's Human Resources app than I'm going to personally apply for a job writing the next version of whatever the NYSE is using.

That you don't understand why his comics are funnier than yours despite your claim of depth explains why his comics are funnier than yous. For reference, see Calvin and Hobbes vs. Anything Printed in The New Yorker.
Also, there's something to be said about a blog that takes 13 paragraphs to mock a 4 panel comic strip.
I think the best example I read of this was that Michael Jordan was considered obese according to his BMI number. No surprise someone with his level of fitness would live longer.
When I was planning to move here to Denver, I had countless people on forums tell me how annoying it is that it's sunny all the time, how you have to practically ration your water, and other tales of woe. Only had one come right out and say that the residents don't want other people moving here (particularly Californians who drive up property values).
