alt Hacker News"one being so good that anyone can become a software engineer".
Of course, smartphones' cameras are so good and accessible, but not anyone who became a professional photographer?
And of course, isn't software engineering far beyond than simply writing code in any form - whether in English or in symbols?

Smartphone cameras didn't turn everyone into a professional photographer, but they did radically expand who can take usable photos, experiment, and occasionally produce something valuable without years of training

Programming is mostly a craft. Engineering would be more like designing algorithms.

Just like word processing software and LLMs meant anyone can become a journalist. /s
Yes but smartphones decimated photography jobs, especially on the low end.
