- rhubarbtree 1y agoI do agree for safety critical systems, you’re right. But I don’t think we are engineers. Software dev isn’t like engineering. You can’t change the structure of a bridge after it has been built by deploying code to prod in a minute. Software dev is just software dev, it’s not engineering or science. It has some parallels with craftsmanship, but it’s unique.
