Your comment is littered with advice that applies to machine learning research, not engineering. It is as applicable to machine learning as "learn deep data structures and algorithms" is to CRUD web app development for an internal "enterprise" application that will see simultaneous usage in the high dozens of users at best. In other words: it's only correct in a very narrow context.
And you end with patronizing insults. Do you feel better?
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y agoSecurity folks do the same thing. I don't get it.
- sidlls 10y agoIt's pervasive in this industry, no matter the sub-discipline. That sort of crap doesn't happen in other, mature engineering fields. At least not to the extent it does in computing. It's as if there is some unaddressed need to be considered among the intellectual elite that festers and ferments into casual, ego driven aggression.
- guelo 10y agoYou must have not dealt with other engineering disciplines. At least in software engineering you don't have to pass exams and get a "Professional Engineer" certification from the government in order to get a job.
- vonmoltke 10y agoFirst, it's NCEES who creates and grades the PE certification, not the government. Second, with the exception of civil engineers other disciplines have no problems getting jobs without licenses. The license just opens more doors and makes finding work easier.
- sidlls 10y agoMy comment has nothing to do with PE certifications.
