And the title of Software Engineer becomes even more meaningless.
Imagine an electrical engineer saying, “I don’t really know what a bridge rectifier is, but I plugged these things into the breadboard where ChatGPT told me, and the output signal looks correct.”
- nprateem 2y agoThe engineering is in saying "I need to get this data within these performance constraints", not in the now worthless knowledge of exactly how to fetch it.
- sgarland 2y agoThat’s not engineering, it’s operating. There’s nothing wrong with operators as a career field, but don’t equate it to engineering, and don’t expect to be as highly paid (why should you be? You can’t fix it when it breaks, and you don’t know how it works).
