It’s not science when there is nothing in place that resembles the scientific method. I have only once seen the scientific method professionally in software, and that was many years ago doing A/B testing.
In most cases software appears to abhor anything remotely scientific, at least in the work place. Most developers cannot communicate their thoughts in writing, cannot measure things, and fear originality of both problem and solution. The result is the opposite of science: an environment the fears learning and races towards social conformance. When science does show its scary demon face it’s met with hostility and dismissal.
