    How come they don’t count? They’re figuring out how the machines should work, for money. That’s engineering, right? (I’m an American mechanical engineer)

      In Canada you have to be qualified and licensed to call yourself an engineer. There are people who can use the title “software engineer”, but it’s not the majority of people working in development.

      That was a question a c.s. professor asked us.

      Do you percieve yourself as Engineers?

      No student said yes. He argued, that we are ( if we go this way). Using best practice, industrie norms and standards to create a product used by many. And if you are in medicial software, you errors can evem cost lifes - just like a bridge engineer!

      However, Germany has a weird fablr with titles.
