I think you are conflating two unrelated things just by assigning the same percentages. Stating that coding is 95-99% easy doesn't necessarily means that it only accounts for 5% of the work. Yes, I perfectly understand the words you have emphasized. I do believe you are a pretty good developer, but please don't get the impression that people who questions the stated 95% work allocation is a asocial code monkey who is incapable of empathy. > Why would the implementation matter more than having the strategy in the first place Who said that? Noone is saying that programming is more important. On the other hand, I see I lot of people saying programming is trivial and not important. I wouldn't have objected if it was at least 25%. But 5%? That's probably true if you're just gluing frameworks together all day, but even then... Is it not really absurd to claim that the person deciding things and telling people what to do is doing almost all of the work? But suppose that maybe there was a lot of nuance and research involved, and the resulting specification is very detailed. If that is the case, the programming involved will not be trivial either, hell it might be even harder. > Writing code is, for the 95% to 99% case, easy > Programming is not easy. Programming is specialized labor D-did you just contradict your self there? I'm not sure what are you getting at anymore.
