Please excuse me in advance - I think I am in a argumentative mood.
It is like sewing. Putting together a garment requires somebody with strong analytic logic skills. To take something from a concept and turn it into a real functioning product takes the skills you describe above. Also within the group of people who can sew, they don't all have interchangeable skills. A good tailor is said to be 100 times more productive than an average seemstress.

At the same time... the nature of programming is automation. Smart programmers automate the repetitive tasks (of programming) such that we become more and more productive... unless we work for a consulting company, in which case we simply charge until the client screams. There's other issues there. Point is, a clever programmer controls the robots, who controls the machines, that sew the cloth. Does that make sense? This gives us more chance to talk to the customer.

Have you ever seen them make one of those oriental rugs?
Good tailors also automate repeatative tasks and make themselves more productive. Point is - that a clever designer controls the robots, who control the machines, that sew the cloth. does that make sense? This give the designer more time to do whatever it is they do with super models.

So yeah. Many modern (IT) technicians work fairly closely with business to evolve the systems that analyze and support our financial infrastructure.

Let's see - "financial infrastructure" - "super model" - I'm thinking a better career choice is to out source programming and learn to sew. Are you with me?
