IDK who needs to hear this, but engineering is the conscious act of synthesizing what we know and can learn about systems to build things that serve users and society.
The opposite of engineering is reckons; not looking or learning about the system, usually in service of avoiding the hard work of managing the quality of the result. In other words, bullshitting.
Engineering == service.
Bullshit == self-service.
Only one of these is worth paying for.
