Not sure what you mean by engineer, but FWIW many of the systems created by the folks you apparently do not consider engineers are more (necessarily) complex, involve more math and empirical testing and are successfully used by orders of magnitude more end users than the products of many of the folks you might consider engineers.

They're computer scientists then. Jesus christ guys, there are a few titles we can use instead of trying to borrow the credibility and prestige of the title "engineer" or "architect"!

There's no prestige or credibility at all in the title "scientist"? I believe you are suffering from tunnel vision, on top of it being that time of the month.

If my degree says "Computer Engineering" and is issued by the engineering school of my university, I'm a software engineer, I don't care what you think.
