Is cleverness only allowed for the FAANGs of the world? I cannot subscribe to such a nihilistic view of computation.

SICP should be required reading for any serious dev if only to expand their imagination beyond an industry that is intensely focused on boiling the difficult and creative endeavor we call software development into a discrete, repeatable process.

I mentioned the open-source community in my comment. So a collective of knowledge of many talented developers from the public, and also the stewardship of a FAANG and their developer talent pool also.
