Are We Engineers? With Hillel Wayne

Software engineering stands apart from other engineering disciplines - or does it? Some argue that we are too informal to be deemed engineers, while others believe “real” engineers follow traditional, waterfall methods because things are much more stable in their domains. Some even argue that software development should be seen as an art or craft. To address the question of whether software engineers are “real” engineers, Hillel Wayne interviewed professionals who crossed over from traditional engineering to software engineering. In this episode, we will delve into the insights gained from these. Links * Is Software Engineering Real Engineering?
