- pratik661 13y agoNice. How did you get there?
- l33tbro 13y agoLove to tell you, pal ... but us dishwashers are skeptical of outsiders.
- pjungwir 13y agoNot sure if OP is joking, but I knew a guy in grad school who did underwater ancient archeology. He spent every summer scuba diving in the Black Sea pulling up old pots. Sounds like nice work!

- jagawhowho 13y agoPossible equivalent titles: Developer, programmer, architect, engineer, hacker
- USNetizen 13y agoSometimes, not always. People call themselves "engineer" a lot, but have no idea what "engineering" really is, which is more of a focus on the process than the technology. Therefore, developer and programmer are theoretically distinct from "software engineer" in strict terms. Too bad no official certification process exists for software engineers as does other fields of engineering.

- jagawhowho 13y agoTitles should correspond to different things. But the lack of an enforced standard makes them meaningless. The actual practice in the workplace will have you doing the same thing. The practice of creation. It will mess up the count if creators are divided by nonstandard titles.
- mlwarren 13y agoI agree that it's too bad that there's no official licensure process (at least in the US). Strangely enough, when I asked on HN and reddit there seemed to be a lot of hostility to the idea.
