"I need to reverse-engineer code every time I use it"
There was a good blog entry recently about automation: Good helpers
make the tasks easier by reducing complexity. cdbs doesn't do that - it
surely makes the task easier for people used to it, but for all others,
it is a big black box adding complexity.
