Does this imply that one should read/use code only of licensed/certified programmers?))

The point is that lots of people buying their licences/certificates because they have severe difficulties in proving abilities they claim to have.

Lots of "certified professional" Java/SAP/etc programmers cannot write any code outside an IDE or without context help, leave alone implement simple algorithms like quicksort or basic functions for binary search trees.
