IMHO, coders need not be experts. Its sufficient if coders are able to achieve the customer's requirements (error handling included) with the coding knowledge they have, and the attitude of learnability.

Plus the ability to evolve a solution, potentially having one coder pick up where another left off.
This brings to mind the great quote:
Joni Mitchell said: That's one thing that's always, like, been a difference between, like, the performing arts, and being a painter, you know. A painter does a painting, and he paints it, and that's it, you know. He has the joy of creating it, it hangs on a wall, and somebody buys it, and maybe somebody buys it again, or maybe nobody buys it and it sits up in a loft somewhere until he dies. But he never, you know, nobody ever, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, 'Paint a Starry Night again, man!' You know? He painted it and that was it.
Unlike a painter, a developer can (though may not) keep tweaking a program -- v1, v2, etc. Yet unlike, the musician, we don't have to start fresh each time we want to make improvements. And still unlike the composer, we can feel confident that the computer will perform our magnum opus exactly as we have instructed.

I've been asked to code the same thing again. And again. And again.
I don't think it makes me Joni Mitchell.

The coders among us are not performing artists; they are craftsmen/women.
A master tailor may produce coats for his entire life, each differing in style, size, etc. A musician may play the same repertoire, trying to achieve perfection in playing the pieces. A composer may try writing music in differing styles. I would claim that our craft is closer to the master tailor than to the musician or composer.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

To be clear, I don't disagree. In fact that was basically my point.

I have developed the same kind of thing more than once at times. A "set of classes/methods for working with ADO.net" for example is something I've done several times and will likely do again. But each time is different, with a new set of requirements, each building on the experience of the previous and improving.

And yet, she also said, "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" -- which (in my opinion) applies to your work with tiny embedded components.

Standard normal distribution. For any group of people, with enough numbers, there will be those that are substantially above the norm and those that are below it.
I believe there are several studies that attempted to measure this related to producing code. One would need to carefully look at each study to determine how they measured the results. Finding them are not easy since there are attempts to monetize the measurement along with a vast number of opinions as to how to create that (which one would could compare to similar attempts to make better teachers.)

re/ 1st yes along w/ the study of advanced Physics etc. it is greatly pleasurable when the billiard balls fly as intended . as for piano i do not know but assume likewise great pleasure upon an expertly played Chopin Sonata .
re/ 2nd yes as i do not wish to wear dresses .

I bought an ET-2800 a couple months ago, and at this point, I can't print anything because the paper constantly jams. Tried doing the various "cleaning" options. Never going to by an Epson again. 
If I weren't so environmentally conscious, I would get great pleasure in throwing the printer down the ravine and watching it break into pieces. Maybe I'll get out the sledge hammer and vent my frustration.
And no, getting it "repaired" isn't on my list, as I'm sure the problem will just return after a 100 pages or so of printing.

I have a Canon printer\copier\scanner combo in my home office. love it.
had it for 4+ years now, I think.
Had Epson year's ago. hate it. my wife hates them too. lots of hate there.

And my Canon printer randomly powers up with some generic "B200" error...or might work perfectly fine, with no apparent cause for one or the other. Sometimes powering it on/off 20 times in a row (when it starts reporting that error) might make it go away, but last time I tried, I had to give up. Might be fine again the very next time I try it, there's just no telling.

I only had one issue to speak of, and that was my scanning software stopped working after a Win11 update.
I had to wait about a month for a new scanner software update to download and install. all good after that.

Sounds like you got a bad one or something. Or you have some kind of software based rubbish going on.
My canons have been pretty reliable. One exception is when my cat finally caught the monster that lived inside the printer. It hasn't worked right since.  Still works though, but needs love.

The printer's maybe 3 years old, and I hardly ever print anything, given I have 2 lasers, and despise ink-jet printers. But, I use it primarily to print on printable discs, and laser's not an option here.
It worked great for the first couple of years, then it's only been getting progressively worse. I've gone through many ink cartridge replacements, especially since the first few dried prematurely as they hardly got any use. These days, knowing I can be months without using it, I try to take out the cartridges and place them back in a sealed plastic bag. That does seem to prevent them from drying up, but I'm also having a hard time powering up the printer without having it come up with that error code...

Always loved my Canons. Not perfect, but well better than HP. I haven't owned an Epson.

My cheap Cannon works like a charm for the last 10 years. And we feed it with the cheapest cartridges on the market.

Same.
I buy the toner bulk refill and normally have 5-6 refills per cartridge before they start having drum issues. No βHP chip in the cartridgeβ BS.

Always have been, though I hope they're better than the crappy 9-pin dot-matrix rubbish they used to peddle.
