Again, let's paint these people's negatives in truth and not in darkness and Russian propaganda. We're all better than that.

I have a 3 year electrical engineering degree and I would never call myself an engineer. At best I would use 'technologist'.

Even if you work in the field?

[BikeJesus]

3 years? What is that, a GE and some advanced physics?

Well it was 8 semesters of engineering math, advanced calculus, systems analysis. Programming microcontrollers(assembly lol), programming PLC's, AC/DC systems, motor control,  Instrumentation, and a bunch of other shit.

I have a 3 year electrical engineering degree and I would never call myself an engineer. At best I would use 'technologist'.

Even if you work in the field?

No job looking for 'engineers' would even consider someone with my education. I would apply to jobs looking for technologists. That said, I decided to open my own bicycle repair business because that is what I enjoy doing, and I do not consider myself a bicycle repair engineer. I don't even like calling myself a bike 'mechanic' because I don't have a mechanics license or anything, and there is no certification for bike mechanics in Canada.

[shosta]

Which country?

[benjipwns]

A "technologist" sounds like somebody who writes books every three years about THE NEW WAY TECHNOLOGY IS INFLUENCING HOW WE ACTUALLY WORK IN WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIPS. Like if you told me Malcolm Gladwell calls himself a "technologist" I'd be like alright.

But in reality, Malcolm Gladwell is a journalist.

That is third party sabotaging themselves on Nintendo platforms level of moronic thinking

lot of people in there making inflammatory commentary vilifying developers for their storefront preferences

BikeJesus is a physicist in the same sense that benji is a journalist

A journalist is someone who writes for a newspaper, magazine or web site.

did you even go to standup school? 

That's like going to a grifting school to learn from a grifter how to grift people

Again, I think all of us, engineers, journalists, historians, archaeologists, serial killers, clowns, technologists, "developers", shosta, need to remember to agree to paint each others negatives as human beings in truth and not in darkness and Russian propaganda. We're all better than that. Except stufte.

Does writing articles for The Bire make you a journalist? Because if it does I have news for you benji and Nintex.

Once upon a time "journalist" was such a goto profession of inherent respect that superheroes would have it as their day job, like scientist inventor and rich man.

how long have you been working on this

[BikeJesus]

I literally have had that in my job title (some workplaces use it) and I have professional certifications that contain the word "engineer" as well. Because that's what my job entails, engineering things.

Yeah, this goes back to words having meaning. If I scribble on a sheet of paper, I didn't 'engineer' that scribble just because I 'created' it.

Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month in the U.S., is an annual observance in Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It began as a way for remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora.

And you think what I do for work is similar to scribbling?

I didn’t come up with the term software engineer so I don’t really care.

Call me a code typer for all I care, my billing rate is my real “worth” lol

I’ve created reusable software components that are considered “engines” for things hence the term though.  Why that bothers you is another story.

So you are a programmer? Nothing wrong with that and actually makes you seem more capable than any self-proclaimed 'software engineer'.

The job title Great Sage Equal Of Heaven was given to Sun Wukong in an effort to assuage him from making trouble and become part of the establishment.

If this were my dad (who I really like) I would likely never speak to him again. You can't trust someone after a revelation like this

While running for governor, Mr. Northam learned his ancestors had been slave owners. “My family’s complicated story is similar to Virginia’s complex history,”

Man, nothing good happened in the 80s, other than being born. It should be erased from history.

Journalism died the moment they removed that little "press" tag from the rim of their hats.

also that anita tweet thread shows how autistic those people are.

Reminds me of gaf when I was like "half of you are fucking racist assholes" and they literally wanted me to provide 50% of posts that were racists.

Technically the position 'journalist' requires a doctorate, and as anyone knows this distinction is null and void unless their school is accredited, which applies whether or not their job title denotes their position correctly, and ultimately no individual can be said to have worth until they learn to code
