>For the most part, devs in general should not be teaching accounting. There's a reason that it is so challenging to earn a CPA.

Surely there's a big difference between earning a CPA and just knowing the basics of accounting.

I had a summer job helping out with entry in a family member's small accounting firm. I don't think that double entry accounting is that crazy of a concept that it cannot be grasped by someone without a degree in the field.

Yes I agree, a vast difference between basic accounting and a CPA. I am not a CPA, but I do understand accounting.

That doesn't change the fact that I'd be wary of any accountant writing a blog post on how to write good quality code for production. Are there accountants out there who can do a good job of that? Absolutely. Are there many more accountants who would do a poor job of that? My guess is also yes.
