Well I ain't stupid if my shit does work god damnit!
I spend a good amount of my day talking to these people on lemmy.
Reddit is not a microblog.
I’m in this image and I don’t like it.
As an engineer, the demographics of stupidity did not spare my category. Whatever this sentence was supposed to mean.
No.
Idk as long as you can communicate exclusively in flow charts you can communicate with software engineers pretty efficiently
Let me share my point of view as a programmer: The average person has no clue how detailed a computer program needs to be. You may think, “this process has only three steps, yadda, flubber and diddly”, but when you sit down and try to program this, you start asking questions like “if the user removes the program during the yadda process, should we add zero flubberees into the diddlydoo and send it off or should we not send the diddlydoo, and should the user be notified? Or should we maybe try to reinstall the program and start again from the yadda? Does it make sense to keep the inputs from the flubber, or is this likely a new process that’s independent from the first attempt? Is it sensible to enter a non-integer number of flubberees? A negative number? No number at all? Do we need to tell other users that a user is concurrently doing this process?
That's me.... :(
Engineers are good at following certain rules to solve a very specific, if broad, subset of human problems.
It sure as fuck don't make them intelligent.
I wouldn't trust an engineer to be able to solve the most trivial societal issues we face over some tennis player's.
Our strength as a species comes from every single one of us going in depth and be experts at the most random things. Being a supreme expert at any one thing does not mean you are a supreme expert at every single thing.
I would trust a soft systems engineer to solve societal problems.
