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.

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

    otherwise they're just stealing valor

      They do, just only for important shit like airplanes and nuclear reactors.

      Webshit doesn't need liability and licensing.

      Computer nerds could stop using the word engineer but use the title "Eng." like American lawyers use "Esq." as a vanity title to compete with the meaningful titles that doctors use: Dr. and MD. In a very unlawyerly-like fashion - lawyers gave "Esq." no legal meaning.
