I think you comparing software development to brick laying says all anyone needs to hear about your approach to software development.

It's like saying the bottleneck in mathematics is arithmetic.

writing software, if you know what you are doing, is very similar to laying bricks. write smallest possible functions that do one thing and do it well and then compose them, like bricks, to make a house (which is what brick layers do).

comments like this come from places where it is more like bunch of chefs in a italian restaurant making spaghetti pasta (code) :)
