I think that more experienced programmers can achieve the same results as The Kid. In a larger organization, you may have separation of programming roles so you may not have a 'Kid' at your disposal.

If you have a method for rapid prototyping or something which allows you to bash out a quick proof of concept. Sometimes management needs that as the visual impact goes a long way to getting projects approved.

So long as you then convey to others that there are bigger long term concerns and proper design to look into when making the full version you can take it from there.
