You're wrong. I have all the expertise but none of the time to generate 100s of lines of boilerplate API calls to get the data together, and no interest in formatting it correctly for consumption, let alone doing so state fully to allow interaction. These are trivial problems to solve that are highly tedious and do not affect whatsoever the business at hand. Perfect drudgery for automation, and just scanning the result is easy to verify the output or code.

Time to learn some Emacs/Vim and Awk/Perl


I am not wrong. You simply are not the kind of developer I am thinking about. And believe me the other kind is way more represented.


Ok, well, then you're not wrong.
