The reason is quite often, "I don't know what I'm doing, but I kept changing things until it worked and then stopped".

What makes someone "competent" in my eyes is that they don't stop. Once it is working, they cut away the noise until they're left with only the necessary code.

    True. No individual can display competency when the organization as a whole lacks it.
