You write more efficient software for the task.

Having had to support many of these systems for sales or automation or video production pipelines as soon as you dig under the covers you realize they are a hot mess of amateur code that _barely_ functions as long as you don't breath on it too hard.

Software engineering is in an entirely nascent stage. That the industry could even put forward ideas like "move fast and break things" is extreme evidence of this. We know how to handle this challenge of deep technical knowledge interfacing with domain specific knowledge in almost every other industry. Coders were once cowboys, now we're in the Upton Sinclair version of the industry, and soon we'll enter into regular honest professional engineering like every other new technology ultimately has.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. It’s spot on imo. Engineers who don’t want to understand the domain and the customers won’t be as effective in an engineering organization as those who do.

It always baffles me when someone wants to only think about the code as if it exists in a vacuum. (Although for junior engineers it’s a bit more acceptable than for senior engineers).

Programmers have an unfortunate tendancy to be too honest!
