Yea I think Calhoun also read the article before posting, and agrees with you; they meant the full title should be

> "The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession" ... is greatly exaggerated.

As in "is greatly exaggerated" is part of the title

They did not mean the title should be

> The Death of Software Engineering as a Profession

and that they think the thesis is greatly exaggerated.





For today’s lucky 10,000– @JKCalhoun is most likely making reference here to American humorist Mark Twain, who, in response to news stories claiming he had died, was reported to have quipped “reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
