Yep, I always tell people that the "plumbing" is by far the most important part of most software projects.

The actual business problems basically solve themselves if you can write all the glue between them in a way that doesn't add extra cognitive load.

Great way to paraphrase it. I’ve found all jobs to be plumbing. The actual task of writing the code to do xyz was always straightforward or 5 minutes of googling. What no Googling is going to solve for you though is how to fit A B and C of your company’s process together into a manageable solution. Manageable being another keyword here. It’s easy to write a lot of code. It’s hard to keep all the pieces of it organized and flexible to future use cases/needs.
