So are software engineers. Many can, but there is nothing in the definition of the "engineer" (software or otherwise) concept imply that they can build things.

- ra0x3 1y agoI have rarely in my 11+ years of professionally writing software, met someone who could _really_ "write code", but couldn't build software. Anecdotal obviously. But I'd say the opposite tends to be the case IMO - those who tend to really know "the code", also tend to know how to effectively build software (relatively speaking). It kinda makes sense - "knowing how to code" in modern tech largely means "knowing how to build software" - not write single modules in some language - because those single modules on their own are largely useless outside the context of "software".
