There’s always a fight over who gets credit for being a job creator, and I wonder whether we shouldn’t heap accolades at the feet of anyone who writes a new, reproducible script or popularizes it. Funding sources for the script, meh, check writers are abundant and low value.

Jobs as scripts are software, but for any output they still needs to run which requires hardware put together in particular ways. Creating jobs (creating value, really) is more than a script and a check.
