Anything else like doctors saying "I want patients to operate on themselves." or "I want patients to vaccinate themselves.". What is it about the software world that created this notion of giving everything away?

But let’s assume it’s not. First of all, if someone with FrontPage can take your job away, you probably have bigger problems to solve involving the qualifications required for engineering. Second - you can’t compare surgery to website building. Putting together some CSS and HTML is nowhere near as complex as operating on a human being. Case in point - most of us were doing it since the MySpace days or earlier. I don’t know any 12 year olds who were doing surgeries at that time.
Lastly - what’s with this scarcity mentality? Just because someone has the skills and ability to do something does not preclude you from doing the same thing. Should we ban books and tutorials because god forbid it might teach others to do the jobs we do?
