How is software not a subset of IT?

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means "works with computers, but more than Word and Excel" for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to 'platform engineer' and 'application engineer', which I think is fitting.

This is the same between many different software development disciplines, fpga devs (or hardware devs for that matter) vs. driver devs, driver devs vs. backend dev, backend devs vs frontend devs, integrators vs everyone.

I'm both, and while I do hate myself, I don't think it's related, so I'm not sure I get it.

(I hate computers more, though, except when they're turned off — no bugs when they're off —, but they're the only thing I'm good enough at to make a living off of.)
