I think this is wrong: You are getting paid to code. The person's problem is not code, but if code is the solution, that is what you are getting paid for. The plumber is getting paid to change a gasket. If you look at the invoice, it won't say "water management" but it will include the gasket and labor. Same for the car. If you look at the invoice, if won't say "personal transportation, instead you will see the car and the options that you paid for. Same if you go to the doctor. It will list the various procedures and diagnosis and bill for those. This conflates two issues: deciding the solution to your problem, and paying for the solution. Marketing and sales is about convincing people that what you are selling is the solution to their problem. For example, car ads try to convince you that the specific car is the solution to going places in comfort with status. A beer ad tries to convince you that this particular beer is the solution for you having a great time with friends. You actually then pay for the concrete car or beer, etc.
