- terpimost 5mo agoWhat is the difference between supervisor and an architect in tech products area?
- snapcaster 5mo agoonly dorks care this much about being an "engineer" or "artist". Who gives a shit if misanthropes on websites consider you a real engineer?
- runako 5mo agoEarly in my career, people said this about programmers who (weakly) insisted on using assemblers. Then, about people using high-level languages like C. Then, about people using C++. Then, about people using "toy"/"scripting" languages like PHP and Python. About people who use ORMs instead of writing SQL directly. About people who use JavaScript ("not a real programming language" was the dis). People used to argue how it was the mark of a tourist to use anything more visual than Emacs. This slight won't stick, nobody cares, and it might end up sounding stupid later. You can't usefully insult a professional engineer in 2026 by pointing out that they haven't memorized ASCII or the Arm instruction set.
