Software is a conversation, between the software developer and the user.
But for that conversation to happen requires a lot of work beyond the
software development. It takes marketing, yes, but also sales, and
public relations, and an office, and a network, and infrastructure, and
air conditioning in the office, and customer service, and accounting,
and a bunch of other support tasks.
But what do software developers do? They design and write code, they
layout screens, they debug, they integrate, and they check things into
the source code control repository.
The level a programmer works at (say, Emacs) is too abstract to support
a business. Developers working at the developer abstraction layer need
an implementation layer -- an organization that takes their code and
turns it into products. Dolly Parton, working at the "singing a nice
song" layer, needs a huge implementation layer too, to make the records
and book the concert halls and take the tickets and set up the audio
gear and promote the records and collect the royalties.
