Re:Why Computer Programmers Should Stop Calling Themselves Engineers

I completely agree with this. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering; however, I've chosen a career in technology. I've had titles like: systems engineer, devops engineer, build engineer, automation engineer. I've hated every one of those titles because I'm NOT an engineer. I explicitly chose not to follow the engineering path and instead start a career in technology. Funny thing is, any time I tell a coworker how I feel about being called an engineer, I just get a funny look.
