Most engineers aren’t engineers and any good either, rather ChatGPT pimps.
I’m often embarrassed by our profession (software engineering). It’s just too young. Mechanical engineering has 200 years of regulation between exploding steam engines and today. We are just tinkerers.
To be honest, I'm a better engineer than most engineers are. That's why I keep sliding into it, despite the best of intentions.
But I'm good at the extremely high-level of it. Architecture and system/process design, that sort of thing. Not at coding. Coding is Handwerk and I'm a Künstlerin.
