Software engineering, as profession, offers a very different kind of capacity compared to professions found in the construction industry, though. The physical resources for buildings are expensive and rare (land, material etc), whereas compute and storage are literally getting cheaper by the minute. The Silicon Valley dream of getting from garage to unicorn within months might be far from realistic, but still way more probable that in any other industry. Quick prototypes can be built in days and it isn't uncommon for graduates to finish their research with a viable business idea. I never seen that in my circle of architecture friends.
