It's not so much that there are wrong engineering techniques as much as engineers being heavily constrained and not allowed to exercise their full expertise. An example of where this is not so much the case would be areas like civil engineering because it has serious consequences if the engineering isn't done right, i.e. a bridge falling. With software there is a lot more room for interpretation as to what engineering really is or should accomplish.

What other fields do you believe are not heavily constrained and are allowed to exercise their full expertise at a typical business? My point is that nearly everybody feels constrained at work because of decisions from higher-ups or whatever. It’s not like software developers are some unique set of people who face challenges nobody else faces.
