More self aggrandizing?<p>We already have people with job titles like &quot;Software Engineer&quot; despite a lack of engineering degree. &quot;Data Scientist&quot; seems similarly bad, but at least most people claiming that one can justify the &quot;scientist&quot; part with a B.Sc. degree of some kind.<p>And then there&#x27;s this gem: &quot;Very seldom do we hear of buildings collapsing or people not getting into their house because of bad planning.&quot;<p>Directly insulting real engineers... We don&#x27;t hear about problems, so engineering must be easy!<p>The level of arrogance displayed by rank and file programmers never ceases to amaze me.
