Snicker.
I understand that the hard work in what you're doing is not moving a few bits around - it's the knowledge, analysis, research and testing.

Short story - years ago I was debugging a device driver I'd written to control microwave TV switches. System kept crashing. 3am. Deadline looming. 2 nights of this. Finally found problem - bug in firmware of HW controller; it kept losing interrupt handler address. Analysis, research & testing = 2 days. Fixing the problem = 15 minutes and 8 bytes of code!
