Myth: software engineers replicate value similar to a factory worker making the same item over and over
Truth: software engineers are closer to artists than factory workers IMO. We find and create new value, not replicate existing value
eh, more like self-important plumbers
Just making some corkscrew pipes because the existing architecture is corkscrew piping.
Or adding a single non-corkscrew pipe out of principle, which all the other corkscrew plumbers now have to maintain for 20 years
And just like artists, the vast majority aren’t very good at it.
Yes but unlike artists we have far fewer sugar daddies.
I feel this. But, in a lot of jobs you have someone forcing you to do art the way they had envisioned lol
