Countless directors and managers are now cosplaying as engineers. I've seen so many myself and that's just my tiny slice of this engineering world

It is pretty funny to see the shoe on the other foot, since it's usually software engineers with unearned arrogance about other fields.
What fields do you see devs think they know about? I’ve never personally seen this with other devs I work with but obviously small sample size…
In my experience, product. There’s a pervasive view that product is easy, that anyone working in it is a dunderhead who gets in the way of engineers doing the really worthwhile work. In reality, it would just mean they rewrite the software five times and have zero customers.
Oh, design too. I’ve met many engineers who simply don’t see any value in design.

Engineers cosplay as physicists and mathematicians every day. What's your point? Think of it pragmatically. If they can do the job they can do the role.

Obviously.
Can they do the job? Because right now, government decisions are based on AI generated code, which was verified by nobody who can do that. So the cost of an unsatisfactory answer is quite high.
