I really like the writing style on this. Very practical and readable, while getting straight at the interesting philosophical questions and not using a bunch of vapid filler. Also here's a take: yeah, software engineering is engineering, it's just really _bad_ engineering which is why we're missing most of the things you'd expect to see in an engineer. We're in the early days of the craft, like 20% of the way to wherever it will end up, and we're doing the equivalent of, say, the structural engineering that goes into building a log cabin.
