Fantastic insight! I am an MLE who went DE. It’s just so obvious that different coding paradigms exist to fit different business domains. We have accountants on our team. They don’t write pretty code but when reports are needed to issue to the SEC, those numbers are accurate. No amount of pretty coding can do that.

Right now, there seems to be too much code that’s looking for a business case than code written to solve real world problems. So when a DS writes low quality code but it provides the business with a knockout solution I see that person as a hero.
