- jessaustin 9y agoHaving interacted with various P.E.'s and been mostly disappointed with their work (seriously these guys are worse than architects as far as having creativity pointed only toward fuck-ups that the client would never want), I wonder why programmers/coders/whatevers even want to engage in this pretense. Why not call ourselves "code lawyers"?
