Is it bad? Should we have "real" engineers working on software that a bootcamper could do? It seems like a waste of resources. Some problems only need a solution that your nephew can hack together in a week.

That said, the problem is that many people looking to get software built can't properly identify what should actually be engineered. In the physical world it's a bit more obvious.

There's also huge subset of problems that look like something your nephew can hack together, until he does and there's a huge security flaw that leaks all your customer data.
