Or in other words: Programing is more of an an art than a craft (though sadly most management, and some practitioners, treat it as a craft, whith results such as this).

Craft? You are lucky. Here in Spain (and other EU countries) we are still firmly planted in the software factory paradigm, which suggests that software is a manufacturing process in an assembly line. The results are not pretty.
Somehow managers here don't get that software is not about automation, but about automating the automation -- a self-improvement process where at each turn the layer below is itself automated.
