It's more like the process for developing the prototype.

No, you prototype out the assembly line when you are working on it (actually not that different from how assembly lines are designed), though I guess in some cases you sell the assembly line itself, rather than the services it provides or the products it produces.
Really? Seems like most people describe it these days as a craft.

Right, and software development is the process of building the assembly line.
> People forget that developing the model takes loads of time from designers and engineers.
But they know design an assembly line for a new task takes loads of time from designers and engineers...
> Software developers are the designer, engineer, and assembler all at once.
You can break of that work if you are working on a project of sufficient scale.
