Never heard that term. Who calls themselves a "hard" engineer?
- narag 4y agoIt seems it's a play with soft-ware hard-ware, implying electric and civil engineering.
- washadjeffmad 4y agoNo one, but there are PEs. The frivolity with which "Engineer" titles were co-opted by tech has always been distasteful to me. It felt intended to claim all of the prestige with none of the rigor, accountability, or social responsibility.
- salawat 4y agoI want a software PE program so bad. I've done my best to hold myself to the same ethical standards, but if there isn't a legal bite behind negligence, you just get shoved aside.
- FpUser 4y agoUnless you work in regulated sector where lives / critical infra literally depends on your code no employer will pay for "PE level ethical standard" development. Too expensive. So your PE will be of very limited value unless you want to prohibit people without PE making a living writing software in general. But if that is what you want my take is - GFY.
