The article was written by „Aaron Francis, Marketing Engineer“.
I’m not a language purist, but are we really calling people who work in marketing „marketing _enginners_“ nowadays?
That seems like going a bit too far with the meaning of engineering…
- codegladiator 10mo agoWell the "software" folks started it, I met a full stack engineer the other day, that word used to have some meaning as well.
- ahartmetz 10mo ago"Full stack" grinds my gears, too. Do they really work from sand to human factors?
- altmanaltman 10mo agoI hate sand
- ayuhito 10mo agoI feel it’s an evolution of the term “Devrel” which still feels tacky. Nor would you want someone who built most of their career as an actual engineer to suddenly drop that term and become a generic someone in “marketing”. They’re more than that for sure. I quite like the terminology the more I think about it. https://github.com/aarondfrancis https://github.com/aarondfrancis
- aarondf 10mo agoTotally. An engineer, who (at the the time) works in marketing! Makes sense to me :D
- michaelt 10mo agoSome fields of engineering have long had roles with names like that. Want to do something with motors, but don’t know how to calculate the right combination of motor, gearbox, brake, encoder and controller? Maxon’s sales engineers will happily walk you through the calculations.
