> An architect can drive around a city and point to buildings he designed

I was under the impression that architects also did a lot of spec work, or designs for RFPs that don't ever get built. Or maybe only get built as a model.

I'm not disagreeing with your premise -- there is a lot of programming work that is hidden, lost, or wasted. However, it's not a trait that's exclusively a programming thing.



Is there also a lot of custom rebuilding of pipes or nails, either the exact same ones or in a new shiny material?
