What's ur definition of "engineering" then

• antod 3y ago
  Yeah, I've worked in structural engineering with real chartered professional engineers. Most of that work was relying on rules of thumb and bodging in hacks to fit around too small customer budgets, changing requirements, contractors trying to exploit loopholes, or bad designs from architects. No job ever had the budget to do anything "properly". Software development usually seems far more controlled than that was.

  If you don't know what engineering means, why not check out Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering

    I have my interpretation of "engineering" based on my degree, wiki's definition and discussions. But people have various interpretations of that, especially those who try to act as if for some weird reasons software was not engineering and that's what I'm asking for. Why so snarky?
