In my extreme opinion, 100% of value is created by communication with people and problem solving. 0.0% of value is created by engineering.
This explains xkcd Dependency comic[0]; the man in Nebraska isn't solving anyone's problem in any particular contexts of communications and problem solving, only preemptively solving potential problems, not creating values as problems are observed and solved. This also explains why consultancy and so-called bullshit jobs, offering no "actual values" but just reselling backend man-hours and making random suggestions, are paid well; because they create values in set contexts.
And, this logic is also completely flawed at the same time too, because the ideal form of a business following this thinking is pure scam. Maybe all jobs are scam, some less so?
