I remember in college being thrown into Visual Studio. I got things to work basically from a checklist. For the longest time includes and building/linking were mysteries done in the background. I feel like a lot of people were "programming by coincidence."

I think I still hold a grudge and prefer the command line to compile (which is its own mess).
