Code Watch: Those who can, code
-
Being a programmer is as close as a human can come to being a magician. You conjure, by concentration and will, a string of arcane symbols that your silicon brazier converts into anything that relies on information. When I was a kid, it was a trope in science fiction that computers were limited to uses of pure, formal logic (“They deal only with 1s and 0s”). Wrong! Our industry is a great unending field of rich soil, and all of our accomplishments are just the first shoots of grass.
Those who can't, test? (Kidding, of course.)

Because one can, doesn't mean one does.
