This idea that only creating models is important work is pervasive. I have seen mathematicians, the director of... or vice-president of..., trying to manage complex software problems just focusing on their models, holding all the company power, and disregarding the most basic engineering practices. That projects fail badly, like the waterfall projects in the 90s. If you are a mathematician that trust software engineers and work with them to create a successful project. We need more like you. I'm tired of arrogant ones that make what could be the most interesting projects a nightmare.
