What is a coder? Someone who is handed the full specs and sits down and just types code? I have never met such a person. The most annoying part of SWE is everyone who isn't an SWE has inane ideas about what we do.
Why deal with language barriers, time shifts, etc. when a small team of good developers can be so much more productive, allegedly?

For one, I never saw a "full spec" (if such a thing even exists) back in my days of making 8k. Annually.
I’ve tended to hold the same opinion of what the average SWE thinks everyone else does.
