Thereby demonstrating exactly the problem that Ernie Ball was talking
about - programmers like to do programmer things, and that's what they'll
do unless they're paid to do otherwise.
Also, programmers know how to do programmer things, but not necessarily
other things. And the people who know how to do the other things aren't
necessarily programmers. That's why you don't get much free software in
non-programmer areas.
