> Building software is not like installing carpet. You don't just do it for a couple years and become a skilled worker.
I think you're wrong, there. Building software is, 99% of the time, like installing carpet.
> Is a physicist just as valuable after a few years of doing research as a full tenured professor with 30 years of research?
Terrible analogy. There are grad students who are more valuable than professors on the edge of the retirement. Comparing software development to academia is a specious argument.
