I would defend the CS guys, but I would never consider myself good enough to do so, not by myself.
As far as I know, the only difference between a REAL engineer, and a fake one would be the recognition of the state. Gee I am truly humbled.
Anyway I do believe you are a ME, you think like one. You do not reason like a SE.
Meeting requirements..any code monkey can meet requirements, what matters is the process. Hence the difference between security and "Windows has discovered that this could allow an attacker to take over your computer" or something of that sort.
"I'm a real engineer (ME) but I've spent much time in the SW world"
Then go do mechanical engineering and stop making the real software guys look bad.
If you believe so much in your ME degree then why do you not give credit to anyone besides yourself!
If you do, it's only to make yourself sound better, like you actually know about SE when all you did was made it compile. "Gee why doesn't this work? It compiled didn't it!!"
Go post somewhere else.
Software has come a long way. Pretty soon we will hit a deficit of quality engineered software. I am a software engineer. I took all the engineering courses along with the "coding" courses along with the calculus, probability, physics, and the mixture of it all. Oh, forgot to mention, you can go to a major university and take "Software Engineering" instead of just CS.
I'll admit that I was insecure about my degree, especially around "Electrical" and "Mechanical" Engineers. They know the stuff. Like myself. But It puts a smile on my face when they say - "Gee, I thought it would be a lot more code than that.!"
Design goes a long way. Where you learn goes a long way.
Software Engineering is a reality, one that has endured the likes of small town white folk racist and ignorant mentality of not being a discipline, an engineering discipline.
The more I read on I realize how backward and ancient is the idea "Engineers" have of Software Engineers. I aim now more than ever to disprove them, the likes of you. I have the respect of my peers because I respect them. I gain their confidence because I confide in them.
Two cents worth, mister.

This is about Linus not liking slashdot: Who gives a flying rat's ...
