No, the most important job it has is to solve the problem. Not every problem is "hello world". Some like video codecs or encryption are fundamentally hard and the code will be complex no matter what you do so newbies have no business going anywhere near it.

"PS I'm in the gotos are bad camp. Does it show?"
That and the fact that you're all theory and no practice.
