Entirely true, in my experience.

It helps having been an office temp engaged in hardcore data entry.  You
got to know what works and what doesn't, what's efficient and what's not.
For as much as I hated it, some of the CICS-based systems I used were
actually some of the best-designed.

The hardest part of programming has never been about learning the
languages.  The hardest part is learning the business for which you're
coding.  That can be a years-long endeavour, depending upon business
complexity.

There's a danger in knowing -either- side of the equation without knowing
the other half.
