Web Developers are Not Fucking Software Engineers

Stop fucking calling yourself a “software engineer” if all you know is HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You’re a developer, not a fucking engineer. In Canada you can be fined for calling yourself an engineer without an actual engineering degree, you know, like chemical, mechanical, structural, civil, and all the other non-bullshit titles that represent hard engineering skills. You might become a software engineer if you actually architect all the elements at a collective level and apply, oh I don’t know, some fucking math and data structures and algorithms to your code. Guess what, that’s now what web developers do. So stop calling yourself a “software engineer” to make up for how much you actually suck. Just own that you are a one-trick-pony and expand you engineering skills before throwing around that bullshit title. Otherwise, everyone else who has been around a while will laugh their fucking asses off behind your back. You’re not a fucking “engineer.”
