What your talking about matches my complaints exactly. I dont understand. Developers are almost never included in those stages. Your given designs that have already been completed. Then you "make them happen", you have no input in

I've had black cab drivers insist that I can't use my card, and that I must get out. I've had cab drivers refuse to drive me to certain parts of London because it's inconvenient for them. They are also really expensive.

Desired traits on a resume, and what you enjoy are different things. People go university not only to get job relevant skills, but learn things they find interesting. For a lot of people pure cs is pretty interesting.

But when you do need it, and you haven't put in the mechanisms to replace it. Your screwed. Without the proper abstractions things can become tightly coupled, and your going to spend a lot of time untangling it. I've been on proje
