Software engineers are engineers first and foremost, and producing code was never the main goal for software engineers.

There&rsquo;s really nothing else to it.</p>https://ulveon-thoughts-f210db.gitlab.io/p/2024-06-07-the-implicit-social-contract-the-division-of-labour/Fri, 07 Jun 2024 20:34:09 +0100https://ulveon-thoughts-f210db.gitlab.io/p/2024-06-07-the-implicit-social-contract-the-division-of-labour/<p>I&rsquo;ve observed an interesting phenomenon that I believe is the base for any economy, capitalist, communist, socialist, or else, and it might very well be an intrinsic part of who we are, collectively, as a species. The division of labour has existed since ancient times, way before Homo Sapiens were roaming Earth. The division of labour exists, to a certain extent in animal communities too. There are leaders, hunters, protectors, and other roles. Naturally, as living standards increase, technology advances, and materials improve, we tend to hyperspecialise.</p>
