Do we need to remember the distinction between type I and type II programmers? it sounds like we do. what you described are the type II variant. (and there are a lot more of them).
type I = kernels, database query engine/optimizers, compiler internals.
type II = glue libraries together with a high level language to solve business goals. type II often rely on type I's work.

- bbarn 9y agoI don't agree with that distinction. The programming part of it is still easy - even easier, I should imagine, for what you're calling the type I programmers. The only difference is, the type I's "business" is algorithms and optimizations instead of yet another CRM or crunching some sales data. The underlying science behind what they are doing with it is difficult - just like dealing with business problems are, and most of them will succeed or fail in their efforts for the same reasons - ability to communicate and work with others.
