A quote from one of my lecturers kind of sums this up for me. She said that just because she was a qualified seamstress, do that mean that she is qualified to perform sutures etc on a person?

I certainly believe everyone should have some idea of coding, be it even just mark up language, but certainly, software engineering as a discipline, is one of the only engineering disciplines where anyone, regardless of qualification, can write code, and release an program. You wouldn't see a non qualified person being allowed to build a bridge!

How true...

Or books on how to design engines in 48 hours!
