On the one hand I'm glad to see the increase in understanding that software engineering isn't writing code. On the other we now have to counter the "deduction" that this means writing code is longer a valuable skill lolol. If software engineering is a more abstract skillset than writing code, how exactly do people acquire it...? Spoiler: Aye, it's by writing code.
