No they aren't. But, in that image, they are the only ones without whom the work will not be done.

In other words, everyone else in that image is even less special than developers. Anyone unable to acknowledge the mediocrity of other job roles is a massive red flag imo.

No no, you see, it’s a lot of work having endless meetings about what wording to put into documents no one would care about if they didn’t exist.
