The fact that in 99% of cases "software engineer" is just an aggrandizing title given by management to any and every programmer at their company should put a bullet in the head of the pretentions of this being an engineering field.
- ljm 2y agoThe term is used ubiquitously in the field of technology and has been for a long time. We also have Tech or Software Architects, and quite obviously they don't do Real Architecture™ or civil engineering, but the concept makes sense. It's just a job title, arguably one without the protections or standards afforded to chartered engineers, and with an incredibly low barrier to entry. Pretty much the reason we have to do this ridiculous dance with tech tests, LeetCode, and 12 stage interview processes.
