--comment about the comment:
in the US the only software eng I've ever worked with was a postdoc from Taiwan working at Stanford;
everything else software-related in the States has been software development, which is basically how I read your comment and totally agree with;
my German NLP PhD friend would review papers in the States and regularly say (when she said anything about it) they were really bad;
it's fairly easy to look at major US based projects (led by software staff at Google) and see major flaws in overall approach which I see as quite anti-engineering and science;
for me personally and professionally its been super frustrating in various ways, when practicing the art and craft;
a former manager commented a couple years ago that software eng is several decades behind all the engineering professions;
hopefully this sheds light and substantiates your points and comment in some useful way because it's difficult to see things the way they really are in this field and practice
