The author of this blog post uses the words engineer and engineering way too haphazardly. In my opinion, calling yourself engineer, when you are not a registered one, is a disservice to the actual engineers (that have to pass technical and ethical exams)
- bickeringyokel 5y agoConversely, engineers can be "registered" and relegated to other adjacent roles because their credentials have been eclipsed by their lack of meaningful experience, and their ideas are no better than the smart programmers in the room. So I do understand the haphazardness to a degree, anyone can engineer, but not everyone can be an engineer.
- yellowapple 5y agoThat's exactly why I don't call myself an "engineer" beyond whatever formal title some employer might assign to me.
