> aren't happy doing assembly line work
On the contrary, I'm perfectly happy doing "assembly line work" - or rather, I'd be perfectly happy doing "assembly line work" for what I get paid as a software developer and just seeking fulfillment outside work. The problem isn't the assembly line work-ization of software development - if it were, this job would be a $10/hour unionized grind. The problem is that managers only know how to manage assembly-line work, so they insist that software development must be assembly-line-izable in spite of all the evidence that it isn't.
