It's all those "rockstar programmers" who spend more time reading blogs than working. Only the object oriented design pattern de jour is the way to go, everything else sucks beyond belief, apparently.

Meanwhile, COBOL code sprinkled with GO TOs run their banks and steer their satellites. The only thing that matters is if the code 1) works and 2) is readable (and most hipster frameworks fail on both accounts).

The difference between serious and amateurish outfits like MtGox is testing, testing, testing and testing. Did I mention testing? And a bunch of people who do not consider themselves rockstars or other silly things who work these systems daily.
