"Real" projects also know what they want in a year and don't expect the engineer to double the lanes on the bridge because the bridge went viral on social media and now needs to handle twice the traffic.

I'm not going to get into a who has bigger stones pissing contest, but lets just say the expectations and requirements for skyscapers are different than software.

You'd do just as well to call engineers "traffic gardners" who don't know how to make a bridge scale.
