Nope, only those without a degree that cannot do anything else, e.g. the bricklayers on a building.

Real engineering has always been about talking with the multiple parties, organising architecture meetings, taking down requirements, if no infra team available setup the whole CI/CD pipeline, and so on.

Programming could be done in whatever language, or low code/no code tool, solved the business problem.

Now what will remain to humans is a big question.

Oh really? I thought the language needed to be ALGOL on a Burroughs B6700!

  • If it solves the business case. A proper engineer would actually recognise that should be NEWP in 2026.
