What percentage of engineers are working on truly hard technical problems?

I can only speak from experience but the vast majority of us are doing the same shit with a different name signing the checks.

The world doesn't need millions of brilliant engineers. It needs construction workers that can assemble materials.

I am fatigued by every tech bro in the industry that thinks they need to find the next genius with their ridiculous hiring process.
