I just lost my job as a civil engineer and I’ve been trying to find resources, forums, staffing agencies, etc to help land me a job and all of what’s out there online talks about faang, leetcode, programming bullshit, etc. Call yourselves Computer scientists, programmers, hogs, i don’t care, please for the love just stop dominating all the ‘engineering’ discourse.

    To be fair Margaret Hamilton earned the title software engineer. Definitely a title that should exist.

    People who learned how to change their MySpace page using CSS probably shouldn’t be calling themselves a software engineer but here we are.

    Anyways idk man get better at Google, but yeah lot of software nerds gonna be online cuz… that’s what they do. Lot of civil engineers are not exactly the online type so it will just be harder to find.

    Computer nerds wanna be engineers so bad, they should have the same licensing and liability requirements

    otherwise they’re just stealing valor

    Wow, I didn’t realize engineers got this upset about it. Definitely using the term Software Engineer instead of Programmer from now on
