"Software engineer" is a special category in that people think you can train someone for 3 months on React and Node and shove them into this line of work and they should be fungible and just a green version of the real thing. The high demand, high pay and low general understanding of computer architecture all fuel this race to the bottom and we all pay for it in low quality, overtly complicated and vulnerable software and all ancillary industries that spring around it. Coding "bootcamps", "Cybersecurity", Agile/SCRUM, Wordpress and clones, AWS and clones etc etc.
