  • If she’s genuine, I could see her still believing that once Trump is out of the party for good that the republicans will go back to be regular conservatives and she’ll be welcomed in that party for 2028/32.

    Personally I think the party is now too deep into MAGA to ever come back without some major restructuring.

  • 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?”

  • People who learnt structural OOP without actually understanding typing system and their benefits really struggle with learning Rist as they try to map classes onto structs and it just doesn’t work.

    Traits are not inheritance. Box is not polymorphism. Rust is not C++ with more keywords.
