I remember MS reps coming to our offices in the 90s and "Teaching" us how to program and how it is cool to have one person writing GUI and the other "guru" writing high performance C++ to be used in critical parts.

I showed them a piece of software that was mighty fast, Internet enabled and GUI intensive. They liked the software but asked where did you get this particular screen control from. You've got to see their faces when told that the whole software was written by a single person in Delphi.
