I dont know. Im a dev in banking and I see what kind of job you have. Sadly, an enormous amount of our time is not spend in transcoding your vision into beautiful lines of code, but fixing all the wrong assumptions you had, talk to the actual users and iterate over the problems of your model until we fix it into something workable, maintain day to day changes in the universe that make your original idea further and further from the need.

People like you work in projects but us we dont just glue things together for your royal pleasure, we sadly have to actually fit a day to day need.

Nice rebuttal, even though you might be projecting a bit at the parent commenter :)

I used to be a consultant in this space, and I can confirm the existence of these completely different bubbles. Ironically one of the root causes is how badly banks want developers to be interchangeable commodities.
