> CRUD to a database
Even this can be deceptively complex, since most CRUD databases sit behind user authentication, for example, which leads down the rabbit hole of properly storing user credentials.
There are simple tasks in software development to be sure, yet I hesitate whenever I feel myself believing "This is going to be so simple!" since that's usually how days or weeks of code-wrangling begin.
- VLM 11y agoYet, the military boot camp analogy is still shockingly accurate, everyone gets a few weeks of first aid in basic training and that's honestly enough because the platoon has a LT floating around, a couple levels of management higher, to make more difficult decisions. LTs are handy once in awhile, but you really don't need a platoon composed entirely of LTs. A better analogy is backhoe operators and civil engineers. We'd probably save a measurable number of lives and capital loss if all backhoe operators were fully qualified civil engineers. However in practice unless you're biting off more than you can chew, having one CE float around and stamp blueprints and write orders is usually a perfectly adequate amount of engineering support. In an ideal world of massive underemployment or over production in the edu sector, I guess all backhoe operators would be extremely bored and frustrated civil engineers.
