    As a non-software engineer, feels weird that they’re making this distinction.

    I don’t have much to do with engines either.

    I take engineer to mean: designs stuff that does some task, involving SOME kind of calculation.

    Visual designer: not an engineer

    Piping designer: not an engineer (although this one felt weird, that’s what the piping designer corrected me to say, so)

    Chemical engineer: ya

    Mechanical engineer: yeah

    Software engineer: totally different flavour, but still yeah

    Language is what we want it to be.

    Web designers presumably still need to script things, I reckon that counts 👍
