once upon a time 'engineering' in software had some meaning attached to it...

no other engineering profession would accept the standards(or rather their lack of) on which software engineering is running.

I have bad news for you: they are pushing those "standards" (Agile, ASPICE) also in hardware and mechanical engineering.

The results can be seen already. Testing is expensive and this is the field where most savings can be implemented.

Agile isn't a coding standard or approach.
