In pure software engineering there is much less creativity needed than most people want to admit.<p>While the UI&#x2F;UX people gather requirements and work with the client to work out how the app should look and behave, sure, they can use their imagination. But once the requirements are set then in many cases a software engineer can sit down and build the software. There is no creativity needed to decide whether to use a vector or a double linked list if you need to prioritise fast append and prepend. After all, if you break down software to its basic building blocks, it&#x27;s all mathematics and logic. And there is no creativity in Mathematics.
