Haha love this
It actually is pretty incredible. You get paid to draw boxes with icons, and arrows connecting them.
And you don’t even have to actually build the thing you drew! That’s someone else’s problem.
Not always. In some cases you create little prototypes or examples or partial implementations of various components, and then hand those off to the person or persons who will do the full implementation.
And then they will completely fuck it up because they didn’t want to follow your example and/or they don’t know how to read or communicate. And then you have to go and debug their stupid bullshit.
And people who build it just flush it to the toilet because requirements are different.
As a cloud engineer I get to build those things and it’s quite fun <3
Sounds more fun than my current job. I push buttons and build funny sentences to make a number go down.
But can you claim it looks like an elephant?
You can make it look like a elephant and they probably won’t bat an eye

Reminds me of how Zeus cobbled together Pegasus from a handful of different kinds of clouds in Hercules.
“Hmm, let’s see here. A little cirrus… a touch of nimbostratus, and a dash of cumulus.”
