I believe much of the problem mentioned in the article is about us not being software engineers but only programmers/coders. If we, as an industry, would have adopted engineering discipline instead of producing systems in light speed by just coding, what we are talking now would be different things.

This is my view as well. But I'll go further: I believe there is an almost​ active hostility toward engineering, as if it's viewed simply as something anyone can pick up, like the much derided "liberal arts."
