Which are used to calculate stresses for dams, fluid dynamics for planes and ships, capacity and load simulations for power, and to compile and operate servers.
Software engineers are the pinnacle of engineering.
Check out this book on Amazon (or your library) to see just how clever and useful we really are.
Software engineering doesn’t treat failure anywhere near important enough for me to consider it proper engineering. Bugs are expected, excused and waived, which for anything critical just isn’t acceptable in my opinion.
Meh. There’s a saying in my field: “anyone can build a bridge, only an engineer can make one that barely doesn’t fall down”.
Humorously reductive as it is, software is what makes that “barely” thinner than human calculation would normally yield. So… Yeah. Not what I’d call a pinnacle.
If you need a book to tell you how useful you are, chances are, it’s claims might.be a bit overblown. The profession that has most of those.books written about them are managers after all. Just saying.

We are useful?? Thanks You Man I hope my parents also understand that Software Engineering is also a real Engineering

Is software still useful? … Sure.

Did you look at the book I linked?
No cuz, the link doesn’t properly load 😂
E: try searching for just the ASIN: B07X66DCLM and note that I’m using the one you provided!
Ahh. It’s a boutique link that points to Amazon Digital Purchase of Rick Astleys Never Gonna Give You Up.
E.g. my post was a red herring
Yeah it loaded after searching the ASIN hahaha

You didn’t click it, did you?
Amazon lead me to a “not available where you are” page, so… Me sowwy
