I do admire the ability to ship.
But some of the ones with that ability would be better off a little bit less goal driven and spending just a few hours a month reading up on their tools. (And the rest of the world would be better off, too...)
Edit: (A bit clearer syntax.) I might add -- it is OK to do evil stuff if you are in a hurry, but at least isolate those part so they are easily replaceable. (Yes, most everyone should know this.)
