I agree with this, but those things have also moved from essentially being artisanal to being more formalized and scientific. I don't think we're at that point

  We're definitely earlier in the timeline with software engineering, but I personally think it seems like structural and mechanical engineering designs are a lot more "artisanal" than is the general conception. Certainly the primitives involved are very well understand scientifically (and this is where we're definitely a long way behind them), but the specific combinations of those primitives strike me as remaining very bespoke and creative, as does the process for creating the designs. All of this looks familiar to me, just further down the maturity timeline.
