Sure, but the skill being transferred here is: “how to program at *any* level of abstraction”. See enough of these and variations of each and you’ve seen them all. Much how linguists study the language of language itself.

It’s actually okay for a random low-importance enterprise software thing to be janky and unstable. It doesn’t have to be as solid as nuclear reactor code. I’m apathetic about “what humanity needs” type thinking. Let the marketplace of a zillion janky github repos decide that.

Yea, I’m in agreement here but the tools we use to assess and promote talent are abysmal. We are far from a true meritocracy in this respect. There is a huge component of luck involved in rising through the ranks (and the muddying with mediocre talent + politics is a drain).

I’m fine with it but I think humanity would do better to find ways to get the best players on the same teams and to let them have more say in what and how things get built. As it is now, there’s a lot of mixing before the cream rises (and that’s inefficient).
