I have seen, and worked with, developers on both ends of the programming pendulum – Ones who have an innate love for the practice and others who have simply learned the basic rules and consider it a career. I have found, based on my experience, that the former type of developer ‘cooks’ with critical thinking abilities augmented by sweet sprinkles of practicality - A mutually beneficial recipe for business and developer. The latter – purchases ‘fast-food’ fried in routine that is mutually harmful for business and developer. Excellent and well said.
