Software engineering perhaps isn't the first think to spring to mind as new or exciting or relevant, but the history traced in this very good article is the history of a series of key developments both in the field of ed tech and in the field of information technology generally. A lot of today's really important new tools are the result of developers trying to solve persistent issues over time - server virtualization, for example, developed to create Amazon Web Services, which was in turn created to address the company's data management needs. The same with things like dev-ops and distributed databases. So even if you're not excited by the title of the article, have a look.
