Old, but fun read that argues that today’s programmers are not like typical Engineers and shouldn’t really call themselves that as Engineering requires certification, is subject to government regulation, bear a burden to the public, etc.
Same for the Netherlands.
Yep, but only the Dutch word is protected so we just use English titles everywhere
Same in France. Anyone can call themselves a “software engineer”. But the title of “engineer” (ingénieur) is specific for people who graduated from a school allowed to deliver engineering degrees.
In Dutch it’s also ingenieur, I wonder where we got that from
It comes from the Latin word ingenium.
