Your world view is not my world view.

In my world, a 'good' programmer, is someone who (at the very 
least) understands *both* the upsides and downsides of manual 
memory management, automatic memory management, oop and non-oop.

Only when this applies to you have you attained enlightenment 
(i.e you can see things as they really are).

And only once you attain englightenment, are you then on the path 
to towards becoming a great programmer (like Walter). And then 
you  are worthy citizen of Dlan..d.

For some though, it can take at least 7 life-times to reach 
enlightenment.
