I thought I was the only one who though this. I am not a software engineer the same way I am not a software doctor or a software banana for that matter. Reminds me of, was it Rosanne Barr?, who coined "Domestic Engineer" and we all laughed. Words matter. I can see from these comments that we are alone but at least it's not just me anymore!
- nitrogen 10y agoSoftware doctor almost sounds like it could be a useful term for someone whose role is diagnosing and curing software defects. But the term "software engineer" is already suitable for someone who applies scientific/engineering rigor to the production of software.
- perfectfire 10y ago> diagnosing and curing software defects That's literally my job right now. If I could claim the title of Doctor I'd totally be for certification (but for purely, very selfish reasons).
