Many software engineers don't fully appreciate how young this industry still is. We are still in alchemy times. It may be a trillion dollar industry, but it's still massively immature compared to, say, medicine, engineering, architecture, etc. We don't even have proper models and terminology to have good conversations about high-level design in many cases. When architects get together they can compare buildings structurally and aesthetically with a rich vocabulary, when developers get together to talk about software the terminology is often strikingly lacking in comparison.
