@zkatkat Software Engineer is a job. Computer Science is a degree. The "stolen glory" crowd are gatekeeping a job that anyone who can type and enjoys solving puzzles can enter and get good at very quickly.

Unlike, say, actual engineering, or literally any trade.

The title "Software Engineer" is, was, and will always be marketing.
