Programming should be a rote job; it's just the act of documenting a known solution to a known problem
Your post is very long, and I hate to sum it all up with such a tiny quote, but I think the portion I quoted is close to the crux of the disagreement here. Your programming experience is evidently all business all the time. Not every programmer lives in that world. Some people really are solving interesting problems, with the computer being just one tool in the problem solving chain. And as a word of notice, your apparent (and almost hyperbolic) failure to recognize that will put you at odds with a large portion of the Perl Monks population. I wish you the best of luck, but be prepared to write a lot of very long posts with excessive use of bold.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
