You can take the word hobbyist as you please, it wasn't meant as a demeaning term. And yes, there is crappy stuff produced by people who are "real" programmers (whatever that means). And yes, both groups of people probably never had a course in UI design or DB design - that's the whole point. Writing the program is the final stage of a the process and without the understanding of the things you mentioned, the result will likely not be good, whether it's written by someone who is paid good money to be a programmer or by someone who does it for fun.
