Re:Why do programmers prefer to be called engineers? by jleyank on Thursday June 01, 2023 @06:13PM (#36158123)
I’m not an engineer as I’ve never taken an engineering course. Not a computer scientist as I never took a cs course (didn’t exist at the time, then not given for credit in arts and sciences). I’m a hacker cuz that’s how I started in ancient times and I did hacker things. I guess I’m a scientist because I have science degrees. I prefer software developer over programmer, but I answer to either. I build tools.
