Step back further. And answer 2 questions.
1. What do you really need software engineers for? Odds are most people doing this work now are replaceable.
2. What is the primary goal of a software engineer. If you say something other than retain your job or advance your career you are either lying to yourself or will eventually be replaced.
Those are problems that define software engineering as a career. If you can provide a more meaningful solution to those two things you will redefine how software engineers perceive writing software and the business problems you seek will reveal themselves more directly.

- austin-cheney 3y agoI agree that should be the goal.
