I know full well that I am preaching to the choir here, and I also
know that I have been oddly unsuccessful with this argument, but can
you imagine any other endeavour where a company would knowingly place
untrained personnel in charge of mission critical systems?  An
untrained programmer is planting landmines in the code base every time
she mucks around in it.  A few thousand dollars seems cheap compared
to the losses a company can sustain when a large customer says 'ta-ta'
after a programming error fouls up the billing.
