Software engineers are not artists nor shoemakers. They are factory makers.
A good analyst makes a hand-crafted, custom report in a day. A programmer makes a factory that makes thousands of reports per second for a thousand clients.

No, I don't think it's the fun part. Judging by the number of people glooming over LLMs, not many people seem excited about it.
I remember when the Mac made everyone a publisher.
Great programmers learn all documents are high latency state-machines.
A "Report" is just a document feature projection.
