That’s missing the point. Engineers perform at a specific level. You don’t expect civil engineers to build the bridge. Can they do it? Sure. But that’s not the profession. Same with Structural Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, etc. They are at a higher level in the planification and execution process and will likely have signatory responsibilities on the project. If the bridge falls, the engineer does have explaining to do.
The equivalent for a software engineer would be (in the US) more at the level of architect with responsibilities higher than developers.
But engineers is not a protected term so everyone is an engineer now.
They’re regulating engineering of software and electronics.
From Engineers Canada;
In the case of software engineering, a piece of software (or a software-intensive system) can therefore be considered an engineering work if both of the following conditions are true:
• The development of the software required “the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.”
• There is a reasonable expectation that failure or inappropriate functioning of the system would result in harm to life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare, or the natural environment.
That does seem to me well defined. If you disagree then it’s okay.
Edit: taken from this: https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/public-policy/professional-practice-software-engineering-en.pdf which also add context.
I cannot speak about electronics as my education was in software engineering.
Software development is done by developers. If you are a software engineer chances are you’re working on software infrastructure that actually apply at scales that are not “add a shopping cart to this blog”.
There are reasons you ask a civil engineer for work.
It’s a good thing that Engineer is a protected profession and not everyone can claim it, like Lawyer or Doctor.
In the US now it’s “oh you’re an engineer? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”
Yep the ASCII table just goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, …

You need a .git

Data Link layer be pretty stable to be fair _
Alternatively, I don’t think that not educating AI is an option.
So are we not calculating the amount of training the junior dev took?
How about using years? “This OS runs on 80s hardware” is still impressive, understandable, and wrong.
MKV (the video container file format) uses binary XML. Look it up.
Why? Software license does not affect the work’s license. It’s still CC0.
Just QI charging support (MagSafe) would be terrific. I don’t know if the footprint would allow it, but it would be so easy with all the phone wireless chargers out there. Just drop it on for lunch break instead of plugging it in.
I don’t mind the cable, I charge it about once a month for lunch break. But that would be a game changer.
You’re assuming he installed Gentoo successfully.

Ah yes, what C needs is VTABLEs.
