(for context, below is mattdeboard's deleted comment) "Well, thankfully, I didn't write this for you. I wrote it for the people -- I suspect the vast, vast, vast majority of the HN readership -- who are not expert programmers, or even professional programmers, but they want to be."

As a veteran mainframe programmer who is in the process of being outsourced, thank you mattdeboard. Your post was inspiring.
