There are clear win conditions in chess. There are not for most software engineering tasks. If you don't get this, it's probably a safe bet that you're not an engineer.

Right, which is why Deep Blue won in the early 90's and now years later, AI is moving on to far more complicated tasks, like engineering software.

The fact that you gave me the "you just don't understand, you're not a chess grandmaster" emotional response helps indicate that I'm pretty much right on target with this one.

FWIW I have been engineering software for over 15 years.
