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 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.
