> A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
I think all software engineers should be taught to be able to handle a profiler, poke around in a debugger, write a short correctness proof, and consider how an attacker might abuse the APIs they expose. I know a lot of people who are working to make this dream a reality right now. Until this happens, though, gatekeeping the definition of an engineer is inappropriate and does nothing to help improve the situation, because people are generally resistant to learning these things if you call them "incompetent hacks".
