My dad had the rare chance to name his position whatever he wanted, but the higher ups still rejected his choice of Grand Poobah.

Most of the people I work with in tech (FANG) can barely speak to another human. This must be what non-tech thinks it’s really like.

Nah, nah, nah. You all got it wrong. There’s one name and one name only: tech support.

“Punching bag” is an appropriate title for how the field feels sometimes.

“The computer guy” which is wrong in all ways but somehow correct

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!

Windex007 ,

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.

hddsx ,

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.

Gork ,

This is terrible for people with the title of Loader.

I’d prefer senior developer but HR calls me a senior engineer.

I personally believe if you are writing novel IP software you are engineering, if you are just connecting cloud tools or writing basic ETL stuff, that’s developing.

I’m probably 40/60 eng/dev. And 200% meetings.

When people ask me what I do for a living I tell them that I furiously bang on a keyboard until the computer does what I want.
