My conclusion is that a true expert armed with pro tools, that no code monkey can ever learn, can do the work of a 100 of them. And finally, the world can rely just on the few 100x more efficient pros for all its automation needs, without the need to bring in little outsourced helpers. That’s is a pure engineering view of the topic. There are other perspectives: political dirt (bribes and kickbacks) and business (middleman) man-hour push and fraud. Most “Indian” bodies employed in IT don’t do anything at all. I’ve watched them for 20 years. They look busy and log hours — just like many Americans employed alongside them.

Next time reply to the correct article please: https://medium.com/@arog/it-meritocracy-part-4-pedaling-in-a-higher-gear-is-writing-less-code-better-c9099d96dd81, which, sorry, could be a bit too detailed and technical for non-programmers making conclusions on my behalf.

Besides, I am not selling Px100 or offering it open-source. I am using it for my own profit, and it’s working. I simply want to see more tools like that out there empowering other experts tired of leveling with code monkeys. It’s not the greedy CFOs, “exploiting” capable programmers. It is the dumbed down stagnated since 2000 enterprise software development technology, that lumps skilled developers with code monkeys.

Imagine if all cars just had four big brightly colored directional buttons: forward, back, left, and right, while the speed was restricted to 20mph because such simplified “controls” would be unsafe to operate at anything higher. Great for millions of people who don’t know how to drive, struggling even with two power-assisted pedals and the steering wheel. Bad for minimally skilled drivers let alone individuals with good motor coordination and reflexes wanting to go faster. That’s today’s IT: everyone in diapers, learning the alphabet. For the record, I drive manual and know a thing or two about amateur racing.
