As someone who used to work in electrical engineering but now does software, I almost refuse to use the word engineer for what I now do.

- MrMcCall 2y agoYes, indeed. We are still in the "craft" stage of the process of software development. Engineering is altogether something else than what we're doing. Strangely enough, 30ya, my friend getting his EE Masters was mostly taking programming courses.
- t43562 2y agoI call myself a programmer. It's not engineering or maths or anything else. It's managing complexity and I contend that it's very low cost complexity or we wouldn't be able to afford all the software we use.
