When one uses manufacturing job (burgers) as metaphor for software development, then you see that the guru thinks it is menial labour as opposed to knowledge-dominated process.

Move along, there is little understanding to acquire from this post.

I’ve had too many managers that thought this and none of them knew the first thing about software. They weren’t very successful.

It’s a huge red flag for me if I realise someone at an organisation has this mindset.

I know right? Software development isn’t grilling burgers it’s designing the grilling system and building the entire supply chain to get it shipped to the customer that is*.

The article is actually about this! How manufacturing processes are not a one to one comparison with software work.

> The reason many people fail to acknowledge and act upon transaction costs in the software industry is that they compare software — a design process — to manufacturing processes.
