I am sorry, Dave. I am afraid I cannot do that. You appear to be suffering from burnout and you should take a break.

I seem to have developed a Pavlovian reflex. About 30 seconds after takeoff, I can't stay awake to save my life. My wife hates flying with me.

I agree with your statements. If someone has spent three years studying accounting, I would certainly expect that he or she is able to blog coherently about double entry accounting.

Yes I agree, a vast difference between basic accounting and a CPA. I am not a CPA, but I do understand accounting.
That doesn't change the fact that I'd be wary of any accountant writing a blog post on how to write good quality code for production. Are there accountants out there who can do a good job of that? Absolutely. Are there many more accountants who would do a poor job of that? My guess is also yes.

Ex-finance SWE here. I closed the article after that part. If you don't understand accounting and read this, you'll only be more confused when you learn how accounting actually works.
For the most part, devs in general should not be teaching accounting. There's a reason that it is so challenging to earn a CPA.
