I'm certain there are a lot of better solutions to what I'm doing, but I'll do them the way I know today, and try to learn a better way tomorrow. The programmer that doesn't want to learn a new way, ever, yes, that's not a good programmer.

Sure, and I don't claim to be a great programmer by any stretch, rather it's the willingness to improve and to be open to things, within practicality.
