Amen to this article. The way software engineers (and coders in general) are treated like assembly line workers is ridiculous.
That said, I think one additional issue the field has is that there's a reluctance in companies to tell the customer/client that they're wrong/they can't have what they want if it's unrealistic to deliver that. Issues like the whole design changing because of constantly shifting requirements, massive levels of feature creep/scope creep, etc could in many ways be fixed if management said no. If they said that the customer/client couldn't get everything redone from scratch without extending the deadline or paying more. Etc.

- odiroot 7y ago> Amen to this article. The way software engineers (and coders in general) are treated like assembly line workers is ridiculous. And it's still not so bad in the anglophone world. In some European countries engineers are considered a necessary evil that cuts into the bottom line. In many Asian countries (AFAIK) engineers are only treated as a cost centre, regularly overworked and underpaid. None of this SV or London splendour or special benefits.
