> After all, I get paid to solve problems with code, not interpret customer requests.

But how to know what to solve... At least for my job, interpreting customer requests is key. The customer knows what they want, but they don't always realize what they want is not the best solution.

Often I can steer the customer to a vastly superior solution to what they initially had in mind. Not seldom this superior solution can re-use existing code, sometimes entirely.
