Yea I think Calhoun also read the article before posting, and agrees with you; they meant the full title should be

> "The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession" ... is greatly exaggerated.

As in "is greatly exaggerated" is part of the title

They did not mean the title should be

> The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession

and that they think the thesis is greatly exaggerated.

Software engineering isn’t dead and won’t be dead from LLMs, I have no fear of that, but coding by hand may become as usually unnecessary as coding in assembly is now.

And I think that’s ok.
