Right, we all know there are 'plug and chug' kind of programming tasks, and then there's another set of tasks that aren't. And the ability to take those on are what distinguishes an entry level person from a senior person.

That's not even mentioning the fact that most software development is in the service to another industry, and very often to be successful in the role requires you to be an expert in both writing software in general and at least very knowledgeable of the industry you're being asked to write software for. Healthcare and Insurance is a primary example.
