I just recently got into Steve Howe. He's considered one of, if not the best guitarist of all time and I came across a quote he had that said something like he wished guitarists would focus on being musicians. Same thing as coders to engineers.
I've come across more technically able programmers than I am. But they aren't better engineers. And a lot of that is because I'm an entrepreneur and have a marketing secondary background as well.
So many companies discount non coding skillsets that actually make one an engineer in my opinion.
They hire the butcher instead of the chef and then wonder why it tastes like shit when it's cooked.
