"Real" software engineering is just a way to justify adding artificial scarcity to the SWE labor pool.

I think it is more so a way to recognize the actual scarcity in the SWE labor pool. I am sick of using apps implemented by the CEOs nephew who is learning to program. I am sick of developers who don't understand a memory corruption vuln. I am sick of people not managing, updating, or auditing dependencies. There is scarcity of talent and we need to stop letting people accumulate and then lose personal data.
