That is true. But the way you present the reality of the industry makes it sound like anyone could do anything. That is, obviously, not the case. For example, research lab code usually sucks big time, while other industries might higher standards. Some teams try to make up for lack of personnel by implementing extreme level of automation, in that case you need high quality code, with well thought abstractions and there are only so many engineers who will deliver that.
So it’s not just “coffee -> code” machine. But the idea that a suit cares about the implementation details, programming languages and such is obviously not true and this community sometimes make it seem as if these things matter. They do to us, engineers, no one else cares much like my wife couldn’t care less about LBJ being better than MJ at basketball (he is not, obviously).
