I don't think the issues of less "professional" code are being understood
correctly.
It's not that those with concern think all students should become
programmers.

But many of the things you learn as a software *Engineer* are very useful in
dealing
many disciplines.

Like

Making your work usable by others.
Making your work robust for later reuse.
Making your work easy to understand by others.
Learning "TEAM" efforts rather than just individual.
Learning to work with others and realizing one another strengths and
weaknesses.

Every line of code I write, I write as if I writing a book and hoping ANYONE
can
understand it not just me, myself and I.

Like we had talked about before.

Define a problem in 2 parts.
Let the students all do the first part.
Then swap the code around.
Now let the second part be done using someone else's code.

This is REAL life and it exists in just about every discipline.
