Because the term [junior/senior] software engineer doesn't mean anything. If you have a laptop, congrats you're now a software engineer.

- mytailorisrich 4y agoIf you have a laptop you have the tool you need to write software. But that does not mean that you have the skills and expertise to practise engineering applied to building software products within strict constraints. Similarly, woodworking tools do not make one a carpenter.
- soco 4y agoThey should call themselves "programmers" - if they can actually do the job of programming what they have been taught in that bootcamp (and it looks they can, being employed now). But engineering is a well defined term and sometimes even protected in many other places. I work with people of all kind of backgrounds, but you can definitely notice the difference in feedback you receive from somebody with a university background (which I would call engineer).
