My Uncle said something similar to this to me nearly 15 years ago as I was getting out of school. In a sense, he was telling me that I was good and talented at what I did, but that I wasn't a REAL programmer. All I did was use someone else's knowledge to figure things out and used their tools to put it all together.
In part, I agreed with him as long as we changed it to the fact that I was a different "style" programmer from him and not that I wasn't a real programmer. Hey...I did (and liked) assembly! It's just easier to put one little line of code then all the garbled assembly code.
