Are you saying you went straight to writing production code before you ever studied any software engineering? Sounds unusual for practitioners of an industry endowed with such a critical responsibility.
A dentist can easily kill someone through malpractice... There's no code review, there's no test environment, and there are always difficult (often time-sensitive) decisions to make and difficult people to deal with.
If all you know is estimating story points and merging pull requests to make your burn-down chart look pretty you probably shouldn't be so confident that your profession is more difficult or more superior than one that you have no understanding of.

He’s created a hash function and hash functions have applications apparently.
It’s publishable because you can link it to blockchain somewhere in the article.
