I bet you’re fun at parties. In all seriousness though, most IT work is menial and mundane. Backends are backends, front ends are front ends, and data moves between the two. People like to overcomplicate “tech” I think largely because of insecurity issues. Now that said, some emerging industries such as the budding corporate space race do require advanced technical knowledge. Yet for some reason glorified grocery apps want rocket engineers at their company when an average engineer could just muck around with mundane tools and piecemeal something together. The truth is the kind of gate keeping you’re advocating for is what limits businesses from realizing value quickly and is designed to artificially limit hiring.
