That oddly reminds me of my relationship to SQL. I've seen job listings
where the guy writing the ad said "you have to be able to write your own
SQL by hand - if you use the wysiwyg in enterprise manager, don't bother"
On the other side I was working for companies where someone would ask me
to help them with a query and I'd go over to their desk, pop open query
analyzer and have typed out the whole thing with joins and whatnot in a
few seconds. It was natural for me, but the response from the guys I was
working with was "how do you do that?" They were the guys who used the
wysiwyg mostly. I never went to QA to write it by hand out of any kind
of elitism or any attempt to impress people. It was just the way I
learned, so it was easier. Although I will admit it was flattering. :)
These days I do a lot of my own work where I'm not really writing SQL
anymore because it's wrapped up in DataFaucet's object-based abstraction.
