Did you mean software engineers? A professional degree is not required but it is mostly software engineers taking the positions. The job title is also software engineer.
I know, I am one. Try not to split hairs
It’s pretty clear you are not part of the industry. Your preference for trade like titles shows you don’t have real world experience in this industry and are just sharing opinions based on your political beliefs with no real basis on reality.
And if you really are in the industry it’s difficult to believe that you failed to realize that 95%+ are not tradesmen and have profesional degrees in software engineering or something similar.
Did he ever say they were Trade Workers? The only time he mentioned Trade that I saw was talking about Trade Unions, which don't specifically have anything to do with Trade Workers
He described workers as programmers. Only a neophyte would do that.
When called out he doubled down instead of explaining why he doesn’t use the normal title
I said programmers because the person I responded to said programmers. Get the stick out of your ass, sophist. Leave it on Reddit.
Lmao
Software engineer is a stupid term akin to calling the guy at Subway a "sandwich engineer". Which even if stupid doesn't really affect me. But now, half the time anyone says "engineer" it's for you programmer dudes, and not real engineers. You've destroyed job boards and listings.
