Reply to comment by skykey96 in Data Science or Software Dev jobs in the future? by lebannax

I don’t what kind of devs you have. But mine don’t really solve business problems. I solve them, and they build what I tell them to.

I don't mean to discuss, but it'd be good if you can ponder the following: they give you a technical solution to help you solve your business problem. You don't tell them what to build, because you probably don't know much about their discipline, what you tell them is what you need to be solved. You're undermining the whole process they probably do.

Give it a thought if you can.

I guess that’s a fair point. Except that I was a developer as well. So I know exactly what they’re building because I could build it myself if I had their role.

That’s probably not how it is for most POs. But in my case it is.

Good, if you were a dev less than 5 years ago, maybe you could, otherwise unsure. Don't forget the real job they do then, which isn't just coding senseless.

I agree that most devs probably aren’t senseless coders. But some are.
