"Is there a point to understanding things?" is, I think, the single biggest open question about Software Engineering as a discipline that has opened up over the last 18 months.

I expect it'll be answered in the affirmative, but
a) I don't think there'll be consensus on that for another 3 years
b) I don't think the people who are acting as if the negative is true will ever realise that that's what they think

@chrisjrn Heh heh. The good thing is there will be a variety of existential misgivings to spread... a little something for everyone! 😅
