It’s fun to think you’re special and easy to do when you’re paid a shitload of money.
It is very much unlike operating an established manufacturing facility. But, about two thirds of dev work has a lot of parallels with creating a new manufacturing facility that manufactures a new kind of thing using new materials and techniques. The primary parallel is that a new facility requires a lot of discovery. Whereas if operating an existing facility constantly required a lot of discovery that disrupted operations it is likely the business team would pivot to something more lucrative.
Sadly most developers work in companies that have a manufacturing management system, which is inappropriate for managing development work, primarily because of pressure+timeline patterns typically applied via silo on silo kingdom building.
If they are in the majority of developers being mismanaged to crank out software that nobody wants, then have them code in an open office space with bullhorn wielding circa 1890s speed bosses yelling at them to type faster. It really makes no difference as most legacy business teams shirk their responsibility to get out of the building and figure out the real needs anyway, so might as well let the devs work on their craft until a real opportunity to make a difference comes along.
