Design and testing, respectively.  A lot of code out there resembles a 
house that didn't have a floorplan before people started pouring a 
foundation.  There are also some really good books on algorithms that a 
lot of programmers fail to read.  Writing good code is strenuous mental 
work, and a lot of people treat it as "art" that shouldn't be 
"constrained" to a "right way".
