Putting engineering after a term doesnt make it engineering.

Software engineering is certainly not engineering. Even at the highest levels. Real engineering have infinitely more complex interactions in the physical world than symbolic institutions for machines.

		Thats right, no need to understand anything other than symbols on a machine. No people involved. No reality to model. No economics to think about. Nothing like real engineering. Thats for the big boys and girls

Probably just using the convention started by the term "prompt engineering", which is forgivable.
