I get that, my dad is an engineer and these days they use pretty complicated modeling software, so he just a ignores it and improvised material choices/dimensions and such during construction. I mean it’s not like it’s reasonable to expect trained professionals to know what they are doing or educate themselves on how the software they use works.
- afandian 6y agoI've heard engineering defined as something like "using a proven set of techniques to solve a number of well described problems" . With covid there's a load of new difficult problems to solve, all of the usual in person tools are now prohibited, and staff are (at least in some places I heard) at risk of losing their pensions if they strike.
