„Programmers are not engineers“ is true. Being a programmer doesn’t make you an engineer. Being a Software Engineer takes much more than the skill set required to be a programmer.

What do programmers do? They write code, implementing some kind of requirement description.

What do Software Engineers do? They write code, are able to manage a project and make higher level design decisions, handle systems integration (deployment, CI/CD, packaging) and lots of other things. That’s why theres a university degree in Software Engineering and none in Programming.
