I'm paid to turn a business requirement into software. I create products. Coding is an unfortunately complex step in that process.

- Walkman 10y agoNo, you are paid to turn a business requirement into a SOLUTION. Yes, unfortunately most of the time you have to write software to reach that.
- crpatino 10y agoIf the business requirement is to produce something to sell to other companies, more likely than not you will end up writing software. You simply cannot build enough entry barriers and protectable IP by glueing together a bunch of standard components in a clever way.
- myf01d 10y agoYou're just a slave to business people, just a high-IQ one.
- Noseshine 10y agoEvery single human being is "slave" to others. We call that "specialization". The only exception - and not even completely so - are people like the old 18th/19th century trappers who lived alone in the West. But even they relied on civilization for traps, weapons and a lot of other things and had to deliver something (furs), so they too were just "slaves"? Even people living in hunter-gatherer societies are "slave" to one another. Try being useless to your tribe in such a society because "you feel like it".
