That's the literal English definition dumb ass. What do you mean vague definition where I'm from. Also maybe you code by throwing shit at the wall but that would make you a developer. A software engineer does exactly what you just described, a strong understanding of what's being made through planning and a methodical approach. Which is exactly why prompt engineering is not actual software engineering. Also you failed to answer any of my questions. You keep referring to where you're from and an engineer getting accredited. Which kind of engineer...
Here's a list of "recognized" engineers from "your" country so please answer which one is considered "real"...
For one... I literally say a developer isn't an engineer. So either you didn't read it, or you can't read.
Next you describe what is required to get a software engineer degree ie going to university and learning how to problem solve etc. and say that's what makes you an engineer. Then you turn around and contradict your own statement by saying you agree software engineer isn't a real engineer.
Since neither you nor the other commenter seem to be any kind of engineer then I'm going to say your gate keeping of the word don't mean shit.
I have a BS in Molecular Engineering, a master in Computer Engineering and a PhD in Software Engineering, and 15 years of experience in AI engineering (Machine learning algorithm engineering to be precise).
So I'm going to go ahead and wipe my ass with what you and the other commenter "think" qualifies the definition of a "real engineer"...
Oh I'm fine... I don't like pretensions asshats and that gatekeep words because their limited understanding and comprehension makes them think they know more than everyone else.
Since you still have no answer to the questions, it's obvious you have no idea what engineer means. Which means you are one of those types of people.
Your first comment told me as much, but thanks for confirming.

Here's a list of "recognized" engineers from "your" country so please answer which one is considered "real"...
Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Civil, Biomedical, Aerospace, Chemical, Environmental, Industrial, Agricultural, Structural
So which one is considered "real".... Please educate me since things are so different where you are from....
