I worked for a startup software company that had features for generating reports that had absolutely no code behind them - none of the developers knew how to implement them.

Tech support just told customers that they were doing something wrong and moved on to the next problem. About 1 1/2 years later I finally added code to make the features work. Didn’t tell anybody until about 3 weeks after that release. It surprised everybody ;-)

Wow, no code behind the button! I’ve mashed a lot of buttons like that including one just yesterday.

Over the decades, I have found that the vast majority of programmers are krap krap krap without an ounce of creativity. Its the difference between a guy who can be trained to torque the bolts on an engine day in and day out and the guy who can design an engine from scratch
