Give a man a program, frustrate him for a day. Teach a man how to program, frustrate him for a lifetime

Then he didn't learn it well....

I love it when I get a task that is tedious and the people before me did it the manual way taking hours or days.

I spend like a day writing a program to do it. Then I just press run and go to lunch or leave for the day.

... And then I present the result and my boss goes: wow, that was really fast and no errors. You must've worked really hard!

Me: Yea....
