It's obviously not a prerequisite:
I've seen a lot of code from those who call themselves experienced
programmers,
and much of it contains at least some of the obfuscations and outright
mistakes noted
in that article.
Sometimes I'm sure the intent was to write unmaintainable code - job
security, you know -
but more often than not I believe it wasn't intentional, just an accident or
bad habits.
I have made some of the same mistakes myself, only to stumble over them
later,
since I am generally responsible for maintaining my own code.

Irv
