Common thinking

The people from the non-industry or other common people think that today there are a lot of free resources to learn to program & code.

That's impossible, right? To build this kind of huge structure or building. We need a ton of engineering. when it comes to the huge structures. Even a simple task like getting water to the top floor of a building needs engineering behind it. It needs a lot of planning & coordination & a well-experienced engineering team.

I hope now you got my point. It applies the same to so ftware.I hope you have heard about Uber.

Uber is a transportation company with an app that allows passengers to hail a ride and drivers to charge fares and get paid. It handles about 1M requests a week. So, to build a system like it. we need a senior engineer with high knowledge of computer science.
