i wonder if the true unlock is more net positive people coding? and then that “burden” doesn’t go fully to eng maybe not production code but for example could help with internal tools that need to be spun up and maybe you don’t need a dedicated engineer that spends 0.2 FTE as a person helping an ops team

used to be python and little flask apps at my old tech job now i’m in medicine so hack on the side mostly with JS (NextJS or Astro) to build little tools for myself tried my hand at mobile dev with react native too which was fun to build a little vancomycin dosing app for when im in the hospital (ended up turning it into a PWA cause the apple store didn’t want my random app lol) https://vanco-web.vercel.app/
