That is very true. Before I learned programming for real I messed with the microsoft outlook (yes, the email program) form bilder thing at work. It had this drag and drop gui builder interface and you could do some simple if statements and concatination.
I built a little thing that had checkboxes for things we had to say when talking to a custmer (it was a customer service job) and built a proper note out of that to put on customer account (we were quality-graded on those).
So then my supervisor asked me how long it would take to make itbdo something else (I don't remember what). I told her a day. She looked at me all condescending like and said, "If I go tell the management that you need a whole day to do this they're gonna call me crazy."
