I am curious, why soft skills are so much demanded today on software engineering job market. Aren't programmers engineers?
If they must develop soft skills, why do we need managers and recruiters? They seem to be useless, having soft skills only.
Then they should develop hard skills too, learn at least one programming language (so they would be any much precise in their choices).
Please, explain me, why things are as they are?

Soft skills are essential for every profession You can be a very good engineer, you can be a very good programmer, but if you cannot manage to produce a product as a team, everything you do means zero.
You may be talented in computer science and want to work alone, but at the end of the day, everything you do is for and with people.The computer is just the tool you use to do this.The aim is to make everyone's life, especially your own, more livable and more valuable.This is where human communication skills come into play.
Because programmers are soft? Mathematical computational theoretical physics is hard? But really, what are soft skills! Are programmers soft because they deal with soft skills? Meanwhile, math and theoretical physics are like the gym for the brain! But wait, what even are soft skills?
