...and that is also the OP's error. I am not calling two differing things by the same word, I am saying that in this technology space, "building software" has a specific meaning that has been convention for 40 years or more. I have never heard a programmer refer to programming, or software engineering, as "building software." It is confusing. Building software means "compiling from source," and that is what it has always meant. And the semantics here are pretty important, as the OP is really talking about writing software and not constructing software from source code. Writing software is composition. It is not building anything until what is written is compiled.
