Nice article, I had the same thoughts coming in the industry a long time ago.
I am now struggling to explain this to non technical persons that the difference and implications between “just make it work” code and maintainable, testable, secure , performant, portable, scalable code is worlds apart and really can be a make-or-break to succeed with a business.
Also I find that there is not so much understanding that the solution for one single problem/business case is often not contained in a well defined “code file”, but may span different code bases and repositories as well as configurations, databases, webservices , different technologies etc. and may also require understanding of things like algoritms and data structures.
