Spoken like a true project manager that every engineer hates.

Spoken like the stereotypical antisocial engineer that always thinks they've got all the answers, no matter the question.

Reductionism is easy, and cheap.

Are you an actual engineer with a degree and subsequent accreditation through a professional body? or an "engineer" by role? Those mean very different things depending on country, quality of education and skills or...how many Microsoft Points you have.

This drives me up the wall so much. I had a boss that used to introduce me to customers as an engineer, and I'd correct him on the spot. And now that I'm looking for another job (not because I pissed off the boss), I keep having to search through "engineer" roles because people can't get their terms right.

I work with engineers - actual electrical and chemical engineers that design processes and controls - and I make the software side of their ideas happen. They can't do their job without me, and vice-versa. But I'm a SCADA integrator, not an engineer, dammit.

So many people calling themselves “engineers” these days don’t even know the first thing about siege warfare.
