Thanks, but we're not really that smart... I mean, plenty of other occupations require at least as much or more brain power - doctors, mathematics, astro-physics, the list goes on and on... Writing a program is just like writing in any language - designing code is harder but still no where near what you describe (top 1%).
Writing code is in no way like writing in a natural language. Programming has much more rigor, both in it's design and in it's implementation. It is more akin to writing a mathematical or logical proof.
Well, yes and no. True, the rules are more rigid and there's very little room to play compared to a natural lanugage, but still, the code writing is not the hard part, which was my main point (though admittedly, not so clear in hindsight)

Anyway, good article, thanks!
