Thanks for sharing this. I've been looking for this for a long time to replace my own poor attempt at saying the same:
The code you write isn't the hard part. It's not the interesting part. And it's not really why you're paid. What I'm trying to imbue into you is the discipline to design and document and plan for the future. Saying you can "whip up a script this afternoon" is not impressive or commendable. It does harm without the other pieces.
