The linked articles you provide say that not everyone developing software is doing software engineering. Canada does offer the PEng license for software engineers, and the US used to offer the PE license in software engineering. At least in Canada, the “engineering field” is divided into engineers, technologists, and technicians. Some people involved in software work at the level of engineers, some work at the level of technologists, and others work at the level of technicians. I think having a finer grained way to discuss the different types of software development would be a helpful way to move the conversation forward. This would also seem to align with what the article talks about having a richer vocabulary.
