coding, the engineer is not doing any other thing but coding
Software is probably the industry with the highest profit margin out there.
We code once and then sell you the code an infinite amount of times with no additional costs to us.
Therefore, I think your analogy does not work; at least for coding
I also don’t care for the over-simplification of software development. It’s not mindless coding. There’s research, architecture, engineering, testing, performance considerations, scaling considerations. Maybe that’s not the point of the post, but I wanted to weigh in on that
