None of these engineers built a dam, ship, or plane. They did some math and drew some lines, and some other people built the stuff.
In this context it's heavily implied "built" is used as "engineered/designed", in the same way I "build" a shitty engine for an app
Exactly my point. In the second case the two lines are also not the product, but it's heavily implied that the dam, bridge is something useful, while the python code is useless. There are many examples where the opposite is the case
