I agree entirely with this.
Software developers HAVE to have an understanding of the subject they're developing for. Computers are not brains, and they are not able to understand the objective or context in which they run.
I could spit out their crappy tagline - "the hardest thing about developing __X__ should be __Y__, but it often isn’t." - for almost any topic.
"The hardest thing about developing an inertial navigation system should be getting clean sensor readings, but it often isn't"
"The hardest thing about developing MITM proxies should be getting certs configured, but it often isn't"
"The hardest thing about developing web extensions should be setting up your manifest file, but it often isn't"
"The hardest thing about web development should be handling https requests, but it often isn't"
"The hardest thing about having a baby should be labor, but it often isn't"
"The hardest thing about making a car should be getting high quality steel, but it often isn't"
ON AND ON.
