Broadly concur with this and in fact it’s all of this is going to make doing real engineering easier in my opinion

The author makes the wrong assumption though that the majority of people who are doing engineering want to do even more engineering.

It’s my experience that most technology workers just want a high paycheck and have some kind of association with being in tech and doing cool things

That is the problem imo. Most tech workers want a big check and no work. Gross. I like the work. But i do get wanting to get a nut with little effort.

yeh, I can see how that is now mistaken for a definition of 'engineer' or 'hacker'.

I am sorry you never knew what engineering truly means.
