Concrete example: it takes a skill to choose the appropriate `str{pick a letter}cpy` function, and use it without messing up the edge cases.
It may need special include headers or compiler flags on various platforms, which needs more skill and effort to configure the build system and ifdefs appropriately.It can be important and tricky to get right — an amateur could get these wrong, waste time on a project that doesn't build, or even cause a serious security vulnerability!
People often judge things by the skill and effort that went into making them. For example, hand-made things a valued, even when a laser/CNC/molding can make an objectively better item.
That's usually fine, except I think some of this affects how we judge software. Difficult-to-use tools/languages, projects that took a lot of pain to develop, clever hard-to-maintain algorithms — they take a lot of skill and effort, but may be overvalued compared to easy/lazy/automatic solutions.

Writing good board game software is so fulfilling. It’s like tending to a beautiful garden.
Runes of Ardun in particular is such a satisfying project due to both the intellectual challenge of writing a high performance strong AI in Rust that can beat pretty much anyone at shogi, with stuff like multithreading, plus the artistic element of designing the pieces, board, sound effects, etc.
If I was less busy with actual work I’d write even more board game software and try to maintain the same high level of quality throughout. Alas! Symbolic Software must also conduct security audits.
