My experience has been similar. Surprisingly useful for certain things, especially if you can spot the errors right away. It's not like most programming requires any significant ingenuity - mostly just matching different datasets to different algorithms and pipelining the outputs in different ways, at least at my level. There's often a little ingenuity required to manage and direct programming efforts appropriately, but that's a different matter.
