A new concept in programming

[joel]

There has, for quite some time, been the concept of “drag-and-drop” programming, where you can pull components out of a toolbox and hook them together in a GUI, and the tools you're using just generate all the necessary code “under the hood” to make things go together.

I realised a few moments ago that the more apt description of how this tends to actually be used is “poop-and-fling” programming: code monkeys throwing shit at a wall until enough of it sticks.
