Writing the code absolutely was. Every character we had to type was accidental complexity

You are conflating designing the system and instantiating it with code. This is exactly what I’m talking about.

Typing characters absolutely is cutting pipe and pouring concrete. It is not where the engineer was or is.

You are conflating system design with high-level programming (with typing, which is trivial and takes almost no time).

What exactly is the distinction you making between system design and high-level programming?
