Almost nobody understands software then, by this definition.

Software is definitely still a craft, not engineering in the build-a-bridge sense.

So I would say, nobody really understands software, but many people have experience and total experience is growing. Via new languages, algorithms, patterns, etc.

The rapid experience advancement suggests there is a lot unknown and not understood.

I’ve worked with thousands who don’t and maybe two dozen who do.
