Hey that’s great to see a construction manager on here. I write software specifically for our superintendents and construction managers and foremen at some of the mega projects my big construction company works on (I’m sure you’d recognize the name if you’ve worked in the industry).

I find it really rewarding work because with software I often feel detached from the work I do. I’m going to get to go on site and see something getting built soon and I’m excited!

I will ask you a question: you go into the doctor, he says you need surgery immediately, you ask why, and your doctor asks what your medical qualifications are...does this seem like something a doctor would do?

Have we seen any evidence that this isn't the case? And the inherent assumption in your argument is that preserving "the worker" (I am not sure what this means) is a fair price to pay for hundreds of billions in graft every year...okay, why? The point of comment is to demonstrate that the purpose of building infrastructure is not to employ consultants, but to build buildings...the false narrative about "the worker" is exactly why several hundred consultants with Ivy League degrees are taking home $1k/hour for no-show consultancy jobs...thank God "the worker" is okay though.
