More like people believe that software engineering is a manual labor type
work, rather than intellectual type work.  For instance, you don't hear
lawyers or doctors hacking at anything.  When someone use that term for
doctors, it is usually meant in a derogatory manner.  I.e. 'that doctor
did a hack job on his patient.'
