You mean that real programmers have coded an Account class with a Withdraw method and a Balance property, like in OO for Dummies? Sure glad I'm not a real programmer then. I wrote my first object oriented program a few years ago, and it seemed obvious that database fields would keep getting added, deleted and changed. My goal was to isolate this stuff from the rest of my program, not try to hardcode it everywhere. I got a bit lost in all the buzzwords, but if that what his point, I agree.
