Years back, they referred to developers as craftsmen and encouraged them to develop their craft. I suspect many/most of those recreating code view themselves as artists. Which aren’t engineers.
Unless you have a PE then you're not an engineer. The term "engineer" is bandied around to make a position sound more important. I've had the title "Staff Engineer", but I assure you, I am not an actual engineer.
