> Most companies don't want "software artists" anymore than they want "artistic bricklayers" or "artistic aerospace engineers". What they want is predictable, maintainable error free software that still works when the "artist" moves on.

Well that's a bloody shame because they have to hire actual humans, and we're a smelly, imaginative lot. If they want an iron they should go to Target.



The iron is the shitty no-code, low-code solutions and I imagine it'll follow the same path the iron has. It hasn't changed much, it does the job, but if you want your stuff to look really good you take it to a specialist, AKA a dry cleaner who follows on the facade a similar process that is in reality entirely different.


Exactly I'll keep doing the creative work and let the brick laying happen on UpWork. If they confuse me for one of those then it's their loss and I'm moving on
