I wrote about this subject recently as well. I agree that programming is hard, and programming for other people is even harder. I also agree that programming is _not_ an engineering field... yet.

One day my friends... one day.

My article explains it a little better.
"Engineering is the application of math and science to create something of value from our natural resources." quote from
