Worst part of this is that you can end up sounding and feeling like you are/could be a far better programmer than you actually are; you know all of the ideals, philosophy and lingo about how to create clean, amazing code but actually turning this into real programs that solve real problems in real budget & time constraints is a very, very different thing.
