"You know, I'd vote for that politician, but I just don't know how well they <i>code</i>"

Some people are good at code, some people are good at writing, and a few people are good at both. Why not let members of our community do what they like doing? If Bruce is a good writer, why should anyone care what his code looks like?

A great benefit of our community is the ability for any member to go off and do whatever they want. We should not attempt to remove that benefit by claiming control over fellow members' activities.
