Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means "works with computers, but more than Word and Excel" for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to 'platform engineer' and 'application engineer', which I think is fitting.
