Programming CRUD apps in the internet age may be 1% intellectual and 99% plumbing (though don;t really buy that).

Programming outside the web/enterprise bubble is far less about connecting existing black boxes.

Nah, we keep changing the plumbing specs and rewriting the same basic applications over and over again.
