The post discusses a common misconception in the tech industry that developers are primarily hired to write code. Instead, it emphasizes that the main objective of any technical role is to meet business goals using various tools and strategies beyond just writing code. Developers often find themselves writing code to navigate around inefficiencies in processes or to fix issues created by others, which undermines the larger picture of aligning technical efforts with business objectives. Highlights include the need for developers to think critically about the context of their work, prioritize solutions that require minimal coding, and understand that development is just one means to achieve broader business success. The discussion encourages a shift in mindset towards problem-solving and effective communication, suggesting that being a successful tech employee involves navigating business challenges as much as technical tasks.
