Agreed. When writing the driver, you need to write it in such a way it
can be reviewed. And that is a skill in its own.

Sometimes, you end up writing the driver twice. First time you just
concentrate on getting it working. The second time you write the
driver, you break it up into smaller, self contained chunks, which are
easy to review.
