It is just the way Gordon thinks, his personal opinion. It is very
common to find programmers that are also artists so I too find his
attitude a little odd. On the other hand, if someone is applying for a
programming job, but has spent a lot of time working as a production
artist, you have to wonder about how dedicated he is to being a
programmer.
