    Which are used to calculate stresses for dams, fluid dynamics for planes and ships, capacity and load simulations for power, and to compile and operate servers.

    Software engineers are the pinnacle of engineering.

    Check out this book on Amazon (or your library) to see just how clever and useful we really are.

        Software engineering doesn’t treat failure anywhere near important enough for me to consider it proper engineering. Bugs are expected, excused and waived, which for anything critical just isn’t acceptable in my opinion.

        Is software still useful? … Sure.

      Meh. There’s a saying in my field: “anyone can build a bridge, only an engineer can make one that barely doesn’t fall down”.

      Humorously reductive as it is, software is what makes that “barely” thinner than human calculation would normally yield. So… Yeah. Not what I’d call a pinnacle.

            Ahh. It’s a boutique link that points to Amazon Digital Purchase of Rick Astleys Never Gonna Give You Up.

            E.g. my post was a red herring

      If you need a book to tell you how useful you are, chances are, it’s claims might.be a bit overblown. The profession that has most of those.books written about them are managers after all. Just saying.
