Being a good programmer was never really about churning out code.

Correct. The plan is to disenfranchise anyone without the means to own a passport, a hunting license, or enhanced drivers license. Notice that this is asymmetrical in that other types of identification such as student ID's are not acceptable forms of identification.

Nope, not as long as the stupid clock changing ritual continues.
