You making a couple of small GUIs that could have been made with a drag and drop editor 10 years ago doesn't work against his claim as much as you think. You're just telling on your self and your "20 years" of supposed dev experience.

Dragging UI components into a WYSIWYG editor is <1% of building an app.

Else Visual Basic and Dreamweaver would have killed software engineering in the 90s.

Also, I didn't make them. A clanker did. I can see this topic brings out the claws. Honestly I used to have the same reaction, and in a large way I still hate it.

It's not bringing out claws, it's just causing bad developers to out themselves.

Outs me as what, exactly?

I'm not sure you're interacting with single claim I've made so far.
