If it's a custom industrial installation then the source code is part of the documentation just like the electrical schematics, specifically so that any trained electrician can maintain it. On the other hand Joe from shipping wouldn't even know what a PLC is and if you let untrained staff maintain electrical systems I think you have some more serious problems.

It is possible that Joe knows more about PLCs than you think you know about shipping, and that he has a god complex worse than that of a grizzled Haskell programmer. People all over have jobs that don't align with their interests, education, and prior work experiences. That's pretty normal; the bills still need paid and people find work where they can. > if you let untrained staff maintain electrical systems I think you have some more serious problems. Or maybe Joe from shipping is a departmental director who has this role because he is a strong leader who takes the initiative to embrace and overcome new challenges. We don't know.
