"Software engineering" is another recent phrase. Its what used to be known
as programming

Programming is to software engineering as lathe operation is to
mechanical engineering.

LOL, yeah right. Thats like saying a surgeon is just the gut who makes the
incisions and ties some knots in string.

The hard bit was the clinical trials leading to that procedure being
approved.

Having done all aspects of development through from writing user specs down
to programming, I can assure that the actual programming is by far the hardest
task, takes the most time and takes the most experience. Any eejit can knock
up a flow chart in powerpoint and do a high level functional spec as
barely qualified managers prove on a daily basis.

Paging messrs Dunning and Kruger.
