The complex design work goes into creatively gluing these APIs together to form new product categories. If you don't need to spend time worrying how to fit bits on disk, you can spend that mental energy searching for and solving problems that would've been too complex without the APIs.

Smart programmers move up the value chain as needed so that they're still doing work that can't be done easily with an existing product.

Good point .

So that begs the question , what are some of the things that are right now higher up the value chain ?
