despite the downvotes, I think this is a pretty apt analogy. Just the same as in house building, there are few architects who designed the master plan, there are some managers and skilled laborers who lead groups, and many less exciting roles that are still vitally important and knowledgeable in their trade. 99% of work where I am is connecting up a GUI to the hardware control subsystem of a medical product. The hardware control was relatively small work but interesting. Correctly managing the flow of data in a way that it's easy and safe for users to operate is not at all sexy, but vitally important, and ultimately, what sells our product.
