That's a very interesting way to look at things! But, I think you have
to add architects, zoologists, and maybe a few other types. RMS used to
say that working inside a big program was like building a city. You had
to design new stuff, adapt old stuff, undertake urban renewal projects,
etc. I guess that's not a beginner viewpoint though.
