  16. <As I have said previously, you are getting computer scientists and 
  17. <software engineers confused.  Software engineering is the discipline
  18. <concerned with writing good code.  Software engineers study the design
  19. <process, design philosophy, testing, life style management, reliability,
  20. <and all that other stuff that defines good code.
  21.  
  22.     Um, no.  Software engineering is a practice that should be applied
  23. by a good programmer, but it is not a separate discipline.
