Engineering is also a thing but that's vanishing too.

I always liked how rms says that programming is a craft.
Absolutely. And I think that's one of the ways you can tell that there is an art to programming. It's not just pushing buttons in the right order. (Something my boss doesn't understand because she took a computer class in high school and thinks she can do my job. "I know code.")
Computer science is a thing. Programming is a thing. They're not the same thing. And as we get into more abstractions, I feel like the programming side is becoming more an art form than the science it is presumed to be.
