God yes, and if you work on the literally visible (UI) your work is so much more valued than if you are working somewhere amongst that cloudy bit of the platform diagram with all the lines and boxes that just does stuff.
- thinkmassive 5y agoI was on a project to automate provisioning of trial environments (VPC, EKS, our software deployed on top) for prospective customers. Other members of this group were primarily marketing and management, I was the only engineer. My portion of the work was described as “pressing a button” so I removed myself from the project at the earliest opportunity.
