You would be amazed how many people apply for programming jobs who seem to have no ability whatsoever to write software.

  All they need to do is drag controls on Visual Studio, right?

    No many of them know nothing of Visual Studio. They know how to operate Google.

      Honestly, aside from just having the mind for it, Google & time is all I've needed to figure out any of the programming challenges I've run into.

      I think being able to google your way out of a problem is worth more than being able to grag a grid to a form, drag a query to a grid and call it a day...

        Why should I have to spend Googling for how to write a H264 decoder when I can just drag one, written by people who know it really well, onto my surface? I know that a lot of people like to argue that these people "don't understand what they're doing". Most Ruby developers don't understand much below a single level of abstraction presented by the language either.
