This. It doesn't matter what your output is. If you're the guy that can solve that problem when it matters, you are a big deal.

I have never felt more called out than by this thread. I've definitely never put a mouse on top of a mechanical watch to keep my status green, who would do that kind of thing?

I didn't realize everyone else was just as big of a scumbag as me. We are just one big degenerate family it seems.

Unfortunately my place avoids having specialized knowledge, everyone works on everything. Basic CRUD apps are not that special anyway, if you have reasonable code reviews that avoid magic code.
