I blame the trend of “software development” as a job role getting farther and farther away from the task of writing programs.

There are lots and lots of big company jobs where you can skate by writing ~100 lines of code a week (or less!) all inside the mandated Big Company In-House Framework. In fact your boss demands that you work this way.

I mean, that was totally me for years, so I’m not judging too harshly.
