:: I agree about the "real joy" of getting to understand how some software works. Just like with mountain climbing. Using a helicopter to get to the top is much simpler and much more convenient. ''It also has a higher chance of success.'' But it sort of removes the joy. On the other hand, if you do programming for a living you might need to choose the helicopter. Your comment about "really know what your pieces are doing" is absolutely true. But note the wording here: ''what'' and not necessarily ''how''. If you need to know that module X and module Y are difficult to combine because they were built against different versions of library Z then you have gone too far.
