If you've ever watched a stone mason work, the tallented ones exert much less effort. My example comes from bar tending. I used to work for a high end catering company so I poured a lot of champaign. After a while, I could pour a bottle into 6 flutes and each flute would be exactly the same height. They would never foam over and it was really easy. I think the big difference is that people know that pouring six flutes of champaign perfectly is hard. They've poured champaign before and they know they couldn't do it. The same goes for laying a wall. Shit, I don't know any management types that would even do thier own drywall. They know they'd screw it up. But, these same people just assume that software is easy. I just had an interview where the CEO asked me to figure out how to scrape an ugly website. I was given an hour to determine which toolkit to use, learn how to use it, and deliver a solution.
