Re:Programmers should not call themselves engineers (2015) by chmod600 on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @02:40AM (#37232545)
As long as we're arguing about words, let's discuss the word "should".

"Should" is often used as a way to express advice, as in: "if you are a programmer and want to make more money, you should call yourself an engineer".

The HN title seems to be using a different definition of "should", or is perhaps expressing advice to those among us who don't care about money.
