As a mechanical engineer turned software developer, I do consider the task to be fundamentally an engineering task.

It's just that the willingness to forgive ineptitude in software is infinitely greater... So much so that the industry has completely normalized absolute garbage work.

It's engineering, just with systemically terrible engineers.
