The issue is that code isn't clothing. It's the clothing factory. We aren't artisans sewing clothing. We're production engineers deciding on layouts for robots

The issue is that code isn't clothing. It's the clothing factory. We aren't artisans sewing clothing. We're production engineers deciding on layouts for robots to make clothes most efficiently.
I see this type error of thinking all the time. Engineers don't make objects of type A, we make functions of type A -> B or higher order.
- atomicnature 9mo agoGo concrete. In FAANG engineering jobs now what % is this factory designer category vs what % is writing some mundane glue code, moving data around in CRUD calls, or putting in a monitoring metric etc? Once you look at the present engineering org compositions see what's the error in thinking. There are other analogy issues in your response which I won't nitpick
- noosphr 9mo agoProduction egineers don't design the looms in a weaving factory either.
