Office work is essential to uhm productivity? Nope. Uhm happiness? Nope. Uhm engagement? Nope. Customer satisfaction? Nope. Onboarding?! Nope.

All true. But office work is essential to maintain "the corporate culture". Whatever that is. Something akin to military culture with its command hierarchy, as far as I can tell. (Probably why there's so many ex-military people climbing the corporate ladder.) An order gets barked down the line and absolute unquestioning loyalty is required. Maybe if we are all taking the next hill, charging into machine gun fire. But not in most enterprise decision making. There's usually time to stop and think of better solutions.

The flip side is that I'm also free to become wildly successful, and society won't hammer me down like a nail.

Well, that does it. You are tossed out of the Democrat Party. Repeat after me:

There is a secret cabal of Jeff Bezos/Elon Musk/Donald Trump clones that conspire to hold you down.

You can't really expect rich people to sell into a market that isn't buying.

You can't analyze code without experience. Junior people can't understand without having DONE stuff.

This. Constructive thinking is like searching a problem space using good heuristics. To quickly recognize and reject the blind paths and pursue the productive ones. Practice is what produces and re-enforces these heuristics.

You've got to do repeated design, build, test loops to get good. Problem with AI to date: It's up to you to "spot the hallucinations". So that learning loop is split between the AI and the developer. Nobody "gets good".
