I have a serious issue with not owning and predicting what I'm paid for. For it to work I need a deep and clear trust from the other parties. Which is rarely the case.
Establishing clear lines of communication and trust is hard work. As hard as development. People are unpredictable and diverse. It's like writing a different language for every part of the application. The syntax you use to communicate between people changes.
As the world continues its descent into reliance on technology and software, more people are faced directly with generating requirements for developers to implement, and right now the gap between the two world is still rather large. The best way to help close those two worlds in, is not to point a finger at those around us and complain they aren't capable in this environment, it is to help build the bridge so that the person who is in your position next does not have to face those same realities.
This introduces dark corners where bad actors can operate on levels that people either don't know how to monitor or don't even know exist (rootkits, etc.).
And it's not just that. Machine learning is increasingly being trusted to make decisions for us despite being the blackest of all boxes. Decisions like predictive policing (https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17054740/palantir-predict...) that have serious impact on people's lives.
I'm personally less skeptical of technology itself and more skeptical of unqualified people misusing technology (whether that's using machine learning to arrive at bogus conclusions, leaving personal webcams open on the internet, downloading fishy attachments, or anything else).
IMO, including some minimal technical education (like the technological equivalent of home ec) would be a fine start.
I do what I get paid for which is generally to solve problems. I get annoyed when people less competent than me choose the solution I should implement, but if they are the ones paying me and they insist on doing it a certain way (after I have explained my opinion) I'll get on and do it anyway. You sound fairly high maintenance in acomparison.
