As a Mechanical Engineer, a massive fuck you to everyone who calls software development, programming, or network management a form of "engineering". Do you know how much extra work is now needed to filter out job postings when you're looking for an ACTUAL engineering position?
Ok, not a ton of extra work, but it's still really good damn annoying when 2 out of 3 posts are actually for developers. You guys belong in the T in STEM, not the E. Stay in your fucking lane!
That sounds difficult.
You know, I bet a software engineer could write up something to help with it!
As a mechanical engineer turned software developer, I do consider the task to be fundamentally an engineering task.
It's just that the willingness to forgive ineptitude in software is infinitely greater... So much so that the industry has completely normalized absolute garbage work.
It's engineering, just with systemically terrible engineers.
As someone who is a software engineer and got a degree in computer engineering…
There’s a difference between a software engineer and a software developer. As a software engineer, I am horrified by the “engineers” I work with.
Considering how poorly described the vast majority of software jobs are listed, I really can't feel sorry for you lol
Just try searching "front end [insert your preferred title]" and see how many jobs are actually just frontend.
This is terrible for people with the title of Loader.
I shit you not I have seen a job listing for forklift driver while looking for software jobs
