This sound like poor design at work. Nobody should be writing CRUD all day, it should be as easy as a new entry in a yaml/json file.
It is all software engineering but the difference in output can be enormous.
- jorblumesea 7y agoI mean, sure, at a place with the engineering level or skill of the FAANGs. But at many places, developer effort is very manual and automation isn't considered.
- crdoconnor 7y agoIf you're a developer who doesn't consider automation or improved tooling to solve repetitive tasks you're probably not a very good developer.
- jorblumesea 7y agoWelcome to 95% of the engineering world haha. Code monkeys.
- shados 7y agoNeither are you if you're generalizing or engineering around repetitive tasks without considering the total cost of ownership of going either way.
- shados 7y agoThe "form" here is a metaphor for "simple things". If i have a large system and I have 3 forms, I'm not going to add (or worse, build) a dynamic form generator system. Worse, the forms could be completely different or all have very special ways of working that can't easily be generalized. At that point its a lot easier to build them by hand. However, you don't need someone with a degree in software engineering to do that. Repeat that for any other "simple but easier to do one off than to engineer around" programming tasks. Not to different from factory automation. A lot of stuff done by hand COULD be done by robots. Its just cheaper to do it by hand.
