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.
That's fair, although I suspect most of the people programming systems like that have degrees in real engineering, not just computer science.
I had a colleague who had a software engineering degree, but at his school it was actually in the school of engineering and he had to take all of the same core physics classes as the real engineers.
Seems like a waste of effort since we were doing the same job, him with a MS in Engineering and me with a BS in CS.
