s/roboticist/programmer/g and you get an infinite bullshit generator for the world of business and enterprise software, without even firing up ChatGPT!
Having worked in both industries, I concur that robotics is much, much messier, as the system has to engage via hardware with the super-messy physical world as opposed to the comparatively modestly messy world of business transactions, data analysis, or whatever. But if we stop trying to solve for "programming for nonprogrammers" and assume that anyone who uses a language or API is a programmer (because once you start programming, that's what you become, irrespective of what's in your job title), we can remove a whole lot of wasted effort from the industry.
