Agreed. I spend a quite a lot of effort in learning the basics,
such as good algorithms and good datastructures. Also, when working, I
focus on the modelling of my programs, as in what functionality goes
where, DRY, who needs to know what etc. The inner workings of the tool at
hand, at present Ruby, is not something i delve into until I have to.

Very nicely put, I agree wholeheartedly. Heinemer Hansson once said he
"wanted programs, not to be a programmer". I agree to that as well.


All the best
