It is a far cry from the serious, dedicated abstract thought demanded by fields such as software engineering/machine learning/data science etc.

99% of software work is straightforward too. Here's a form for entering data. Here's a report for formatting data someone else entered. Every website is just these two concepts that have been around since the 60s. Don't kid yourself that a "full stack developer" or a "rockstar ninja" is anything special.

There are lots of programming jobs out there that are outside of the web/CRUD development realm.

But there's a lot more that aren't.
