most software engineering isn't actual computer science, it's plumbing. and most coding isn't software engineering, it's scripting. we overproduced CS majors when we should have taught scripting as part of the curriculum for ME, finance etc.
and even the plumbing should be separated into a different major. it's like hiring electrical engineers as electricians.
