Well, in 90% of all such cases, "their coding" goes into implementing complex algorithms, while their programs complexity is not much different from "hello world".
This sounds quite arrogant.
Feel free to think what you want - These number cruncher guys apps condense down to a
READ STDIN CALL ALGORITHM PRINT STDOUT
Their typical usage:
./myapp < inputdata >output ... wait <couple of days> ... lpr output
Hm, you have never seen any mpp code. I/O is the most complex part of large scale numerics.
