Software engineering may have been one of the few modern engineering roles that combine both engineering (designing) tasks and technical craftsmanship (coding) tasks. Maybe until LLMs gets perfected.

    I would rather compare my point to the mechanical engineer who designs the mechanical system and the factory worker who actually builds the system with their hands.

      Yes, it is work. It is a skill. Craftsmanship is taking it a step too far.
