for every programmer working on cutting edge creative/systems/math heavy code there are 1000 gluing APIs and tapping out glorified CRUD apps. let's not pretend it's otherwise.

  I think we should generate less CRUD, competing standards, endless new languages, frameworks, databases, Linux distros, and so on. I don't see why we should automate this. We could get far greater gains in productivity by less duplicated effort.

    And thus, onde more standard is born.

      And once again, we prove it: there is an XKCD for everything (although I have to admit this one was easy). https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/

  This sounds like every developer I've met who has never had a job at a company last longer than 6 months.

Most code is glue. However, that doesn't mean it isn't interesting for data modelling. I'm very excited to have most of the generic parts automated away

  But you don't have that. At best you have a model for generating text that looks a lot like a blog post.
