Oh please.

Name one art snob who criticizes Leonardo Da Vinci, Rafael, or Michaelangelo (considered some of the greatest artistic masters of human history!!!) - among others - because they gulp employed apprentices to assist in or even finish their work.

Since they didn't actually do the work, should they receive any praise for the work of the others who actually did?

The end result is all that matters.  One can have a site that praises the work in creating it - then you should announce it in big bold letters - because everyone cheats to some degree (poor saps).

ETA: As a point - consider architects.  They can become renowned for their designs and engineering.  But they used standard materials unforgivably manufactured by others.  And an even worse offense - there were other people who did all of the work in managing and constructing the architecture.  Forbid!  This endless exercise in tormented artists is way dead.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
