Oh yeah, I just assumed everyone saw the green lady. You know, green skin, bald, tusks, too many eyes.

She's been visiting for a couple decades, but she just stares, so you get used to her. I figured it was one of those common ones like you have a surprise exam and you forgot your pencils or you have a candy bar for a head.

Dance dance revolution!

> Just think about how many shitty engineers you know.

None? Passing the PE exam is no joke. An engineering degree only counts as four years (half) of the experience required to take the test.

Maybe software devs should have something similar? Then when someone calls themself an engineer (or your own word, don't use ours) you know they meet a minimum level of competency and experience.
