Old, but fun read that argues that today’s programmers are not like typical Engineers and shouldn’t really call themselves that as Engineering requires certification, is subject to government regulation, bear a burden to the public, etc.

    Yeah, fair enough that might be what HR/recruitment does. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t a difference though.

    Also I’m not sure if that is more of a US thing maybe? I see most roles in Australia listed for “developer” not “engineers”
