Hei Lucas, I was so happy to realize that you left your comment here :D I miss working with you man, and healthy discussions!
It seems that I divided the audience in two opposite directions, at least by looking at the comments. It is hard to write about cliche's but not to fall into one :) if you know what I mean? Generally, it is very inaccurate to say that some job is harder than other if one of them is strictly physical (muscle mass matters) and other is totally mental (brain power matters). That's why I didn't want to compare the actual profession, but to provide (as much as possible) objective analysis, what makes one software developer good. As you mentioned, it is definitely a set of skills, not every person have it.
I agree with you totally that we can convert most of the population into the IT industry, but as you already said, the outcome won't be satisfiable either to industry standards, neither to management nor customers.
Thank you once again for reading my blog :) I hope you'll have a chance to go through other articles of mine and drop your opinion.
