Great point, imagine learning about Roman history and some 3d models of the Roman cities pops up.

Work environment have changed so much in the latest years and I feel school remained the same. Last week a young family member asked what does excel do? and she's about to enter college, and we're talking about Ireland that it supposed to have a good school system

I'm in the same boat, I guess everyone will like to see the bully being stopped, yet it's hard to act when you have the chance

Once on a Data engineering interview I was explaining some diagrams and data flows when my nose decided to bleed, a lot.

The blood started to run over my white shirt, while I was still trying to explain why we were moving data from one database to another on a whiteboard, with one hand trying to stop the bleeding.

I got the job.

That's with family, with the lads/co-workers the Irish goodbye it's not saying anything and leave.

I understand using paper for Diagrams and arquitechtual design, but for coding?

On college I remember having to code on paper and you simply can't test your code for typos or small error, even if your logic was perfect professor give you marks for a missing ';'

note: the class was evaluating the Logic / algorihtm not basic code syntax

What about day-to-day items, like well engineered wallet or water bottle, it's still engineering but the rigor still can be low, right?

I think even if rigor required it's low you can think of a good solution for a problem, feature or product

>>you can't simply put up a bridge that would support 500 cars and say "oh we'll update it to support 5000 cars down the road"

In that case the requirement changed, it might require some extra support or upgrades to the bridge, if not we have to build the bridge all over again.

Similar in SWE, the requirement can change, if you planned a small MYSQL database to hold 2 Stores transactions and then "oh well we will need to support 2000 Stores Transactions" you might try upgrade the server or start from zero on a AWS cloud instance that keep up.

In SWE you still have the big decisions than can impact people and budget, a bridge can collapse, so the autopilot software can make the car crash
