Heroes wear many capes - don’t forget about the person that just spent 4000 hours creating an application with complex menu’s and logic for a specific domain.

The right person can be extremely productive and generate incredible value anywhere, but often it just isn’t as sexy as compression algorithms.

A tip of my hat to all you hard working talented people out there.

I feel like you may have some good intention behind your post but it comes off as really condescending, as if all Mr. Bellard accomplished is some sexy compression algorithm.
