Coding Horror: Programming: Love It or Leave It

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but not everyone should be a programmer. How often have you wished that a certain coworker of yours would suddenly have an epiphany one day and decide that this whole software engineering thing just isn't working out for them?

I've wanted to many times, but I never had the guts.
