> I always think of DSLs as automating my own job as a software engineer. It makes it possible to have someone with a different skillset than me not need to go through me to build features.

It's interesting that this sort of drives against our own motivation of professional self preservation.

In my own experience, it has generally worked out better to just empower others as much as possible, rather than trying to lock down and add friction and permission to the system.

It's a great feeling to give someone the power to do something they couldn't do previously.
