Real programmers use butterflies.

Let me elaborate: there is a huge history of dubious allegations of what constitutes "a real programmer" or stuff that makes you "a better programmer".
Combobulation and descombobulation of McGuffins is often the best analogy though. Not to dismerit other kinds of thinkings, but already dismeriting them, that's what this is all about. When in doubt, showing the code is often what works.
