The designers as seen by designers is so right.

Nothing they come up with can be wrong, it’s all innovative!!

I am an engineer. Most developers aren’t though, unfortunately.

Serious question, not a native speaker: Why do people in the Anglosphere refer to mostly-software companies as tech companies, or to software developers as tech workers?

Simon ,

Because even in those companies many of the ‘computer people’ are not software developers. Tech workers is a catch all term for most people at those companies.

crispy_kilt ,

But the term isn’t used for technology outside of software companies, for example, mechanical and electrical engineering

Simon ,

There’s tech companies that don’t work with software

crispy_kilt ,

Such as?

Simon ,

Anything hardware related that doesn’t program in-house, by definition.

Tech is short-hand for technology.
So, technology companies and technology workers.

emberwit ,

But the question was why

crispy_kilt ,

Thanks for responding but that wasn’t the question

Machinists / mechanical engineering are technology workers, so are civil engineers, electrical engineers, etc, but only software gets called “tech”

I usually go by “fuck you”. Like someone yells out of their cube “who’s goddamn code is this?!?! Ah, fuck you”

Also codemancer

Not only does this meme ignore the fact there’s only 4 choices in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, it doesn’t even do an even number of them leaving it annoyingly lopsided

webghost0101 ,

Should have gone with something like “HaxorMaster1447”

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

PlasmaDistortion , in t e c h n o l o g y

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.
