    I wasn't expecting this level of naïveté from someone who claims to have "half a century" of experience in the industry.

    The whole piece is a rehash of the protestant work ethic, and I'm not buying it. If society as a whole requires me to take direct and personal responsibility for some software I wrote, then I would have to require a payment worth the risk. In other words, if my software can take a whole company down, then why wouldn't I be paid as much as the CEO?
