In most companies your job is to solve tickets. And the only creative freedom a developer has is how that ticket is solved. Quick fix, properly done, rework etc. Maybe that’s why certain smart developers over engineer, because that’s the only place they can create ownership

Maybe if you’re a junior engineer, but this absolutely not what most SWEs do.

As long as you think like this then you’ll always stay in that niche

That’s not how I work. I live from my own saas.

But I worked for a long time as a freelancer in big name corporates in the Netherlands and other large software companies. And that’s just how it is everywhere. Also in house senior devs have little to say. Hope other companies/countries are different
