Both my mom and dad have no idea how to talk about what I do. Mom just tells people I do things with computers at a major bank. My dad tells everyone I work in IT... which drives me up a wall. Not that I don't respect IT, but as a developer I'm about useless when it comes to the hardware side of things.
- pcthrowaway 4y agoTechnically all computer science and software engineering falls under Information Technology
- AlotOfReading 4y agoWhich entirely misses the point that most people think of the IT guy at work when they hear "IT". They're different skill sets. It's analogous to the relationship between mechanical engineers and mechanics or machinists. Yeah, they're both working with 'physical technology' and there's some overlap in skills, but they're ultimately very different roles.
