Are we part of the most elitist business?

Yet again, we find a post focused on drawing a line between the good programmer, and the bad one. I think we should really be thinking how to become a better person and that does not come from stepping on everybody else, just to feed the ego. I'm personally tired of lists of things not to do. Mistakes come from doing, and that's a fact of life, no matter in what profession you are. If the greatest minds of the world would have paid attention to this "don't do" lists, we'd still be living in caverns.
