I continue to be amazed how the respect for the work of IT professionals gets lower and lower. This article attempts to reduce software development down to "people pleasing". A prostitute is also paid to make the "investors" happy but even people who've never hired one agree that not every demand by the "investor" can be fulfilled and that the prostitute can set boundaries. Yet, when it comes to software development, people such as the author of this article claim that the only true definition of done can be derived solely from the desires and wants of the business people (some of who tend to change opinions depending on what time they'd woken up). Imagine if civil engineers operated in this way.
The level of respect that the typical manager or C-level has for the developers' efforts and time spent into keeping up-to-date with the industry has decreased, and now with the big promises of AI it will become even lower. Professionalism demands a certain baseline level of respect for one's effort and expertise.
