When you have done programming for a while and it is mostly muscle memory, it is easy to forget how much it is an impenetrable black box to someone who has never done it.

Try to tell someone who just needs to get a task done that he needs to spend the next 3 months learning programming from scratch vs using excel.

Tough shit, though. Thats what they're being paid for.

"A bad workman always blames his tools" has never been truer than this situation.
