This is a good perspective. In most disciplines where they need some level of repeatable quality, like medicine or construction, they have constrained the environment to such a degree that they can engage in somewhat repeatable work. Consider how well cars would work if they had to traverse arbitrary terrain. Instead, we have paved the earth to make their usage somewhat consistent. Construction projects repeat the same tasks over and over for decades. Surgeons perform the same surgeries for decades. But in software if something is repeatable and useful, it becomes an app or a library or a framework. Some things in software have been heavily constrained to make the terrain navigable. Cloud computing in containers is one example. But in general, there’s a much higher degree of navigating uncharted territory in software than these other fields. Even building a CRUD app is often wildly complex, not the CRUD part, but the mapping of a specific business’s processes to that CRUD app, and getting those specific employees who currently work there to use it, is itself quite a novel undertaking.
