To clarify, this article is not about the practice of Engineering [1], nor the management thereof.

Words have meaning, and I strongly feel that clarity here is helpful.

An engineering approach to software development would include rigorous testing and require individual signoff for every library and module. It is quite clear that an LLM would not be able to meet this requirement.

When casting about for ideas or prototypes, the throw away nature could allow their limited use.
