The Problem You Solve Is More Important Than The Code You Write

Developers should prioritize solving real-world problems over writing code. A startup failed with a Bluetooth door unlock requiring manual app interaction, but succeeded by auto-unlocking via proximity detection. Not all bugs need fixing (e.g., human intervention for a rare duplicate deposit may be cost-effective) and not all features need coding (e.g., standard HTML validation sufficed instead of custom validation). Automation isn't always beneficial if it obscures useful knowledge. You are paid to solve problems, not just write code.
