> I guess people who aren't software engineers don't realise that merely making a trivially basic website is not what software engineering is.

"Software engineering" doesn't matter to anyone except to software engineers. What matters is executing that idea that's been gathering dust for ages, or scratching that pain point that keeps popping up in a daily basis.

Software engineering matters very much to anyone who has ideas or pain points that are beyond the capabilities of a next-token prediction engine to solve.

		Not really. Those ideas or pain points are simply ignored or endured by anyone who isn't a software engineer until the tools (no-code platform, LLM, etc) become good enough, or someone else builds the thing and makes it available.
