>I have a personal philosophy: "if you can't do it well, don't do it at all". That's because I prize my ability at what I do. I am good at it. Maybe I need to teach these "real engineers" something about building things haha: "If you can't do it without killing people, don't do it". Man, that's a motto for the ages. You'd think you don't have to teach people that, but here we are.
You're trying too hard. It's embarrassing.

Why bother with the software engineering, your moral sensibilities are needed everywhere. It's not every day someone emerges capable of writing a todo app in react without killing anyone

I see an awful lot of skyscrapers not falling down every day, stands to reason some engineers are good at what they do, no?

Oh there are good engineers, certainly. But the field as a whole clearly is immature since it causes more deaths than software engineers do.
Maybe we should teach them ethics, because whatever class they took on that, it didn't take. As a practitioner of quality and making money with zero killing, I could help.
