I think the proportions have shifted significantly. (Proportion of “problem solving” to “plumbing”.) There’s at least a couple orders of magnitude more software and services available to use and connect to today than there was 25 years ago.
- antt 8y agoPlumbing is not what you read in your textbooks about. It has always been the case that the majority of programmers are plumbers. As a fraction of people I would be surprised if we do not have more people working on blue skies problems today because all the tools are available for free, as opposed to the 80s when a workstation with the software on it cost 30% of the developers yearly salary.
