Yeah, I sometimes joke that the average developer is a somebody who pushes their code with a series of repetitive git commands typed in unreliably, deploys unreliably with a repetitive set of shell commands, relies almost totally on a battery of bored, robotically clicking manual testers and believes that he is automating people out of a job. I think one of the most underrated (and almost totally ignored) parts of the mythical man month was the notion of the toolsmith being a dedicated member of a good software team who doesn't work on features.
