Ok, that's where I got lost. You were being literary, and I took you literally.

There are a lot of info sytstems I've worked on where the programming was so easy that it almost wasn't worth automating.

But then, I was paid to be a "database expert", not a "hot shot programmer". And there was usually a small army of journeymen programmers on the staff, and they weren't going to be "outsourced" for another few years. So it was kinda good to have them play a role.
