This very issue gave rise to some heated debate over on the LINK
mailing list, which some of you attend.

Many of us computer "professionals" were peeved by this low
barrier to entry into the software industry. Computer software
creation is not a certified profession like engineering. There
are far toomany shiesters out there peddling crap software
because they can. This gives rise to many many problems in IT.

But, enough said. Yup, you can code up crap in any language.
Especially INTERCAL!
