Ummm… excuse me. I think you mean “software engineering isn’t cool.” Which is also completely false. It is cool. It just makes for a shitty topic of conversation when the other person has no idea what you’re talking about.

But what do I know? I’m a scotch swilling, cigar smoking, reasonably competent DIYer, Dad who would rather go outside or do anything that doesn’t involve a computer in my spare time.

Oh, And my wife says she thinks I’m cool so I have that going for me.

You don’t have to be cool. The whole “nerds can’t get women” thing doesn’t apply after your 20s.

I quit my company a week ago because as a company of 13 people the communication at all levels was so poor compared to my previous job working with over 20 and several departments. I’m not usually one to judge people’s degrees, but our boss has a biosciences and GIS degree and somehow wandered their way into software management and has the biggest superiority complex I’ve ever seen. These people plague the software development landscape so, my condolences for your CEO who is probably too busy looking at golf clubs and scheduling tee times while writing up an email about how hard executive management works to get back to you.

I’m basically a code bitch. I’m loaned out to other teams to write scripts. They usually also want me to run them in addition to writing them. Typically with my own compute resources.

Software Engineers are highly paid. Many women want a guy that can provide.

Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don’t find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they’re passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.

“software engineer” is such a stupid, shallow and arrogant description. I’m not an engineer and neither are you.

I’m a software developer, developer for short. All these fake “engineers” and “scientists” tend to be arrogant stuck up pricks.

Dude, you’re a code monkey. You’re not creating autocad graphs for Airbus, so get off your high horse.

A developer is one that just codes. An engineer is one that mocks up their feature, leads meetings to explain what they are going to do and debates with others about the proposed implementation, codes it, tests it thoroughly, then answers any questions about what they made months later and diagnoses issues that QA found. Maybe you’re just a code monkey, but my job is a lot more.

Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.
