what year was it they began calling programers engineers? Who asked them to do that? Why? I’ve heard of janitors asking to be called sanitation engineers…they aren’t paid that well either. Not that I would equate the two…clearly programmers require more intelligence and education.

Being a programmer myself, it is hard not to defend the concept that progamming is some easy work and engineers are more important/smarter than programmers.
If that is true, then I guess there is no engineer at all in Microsoft and Googles. And the last 15 years of internet and www are not done by “engineers” either.
If you are not in IT/Engineer field, better not to comment on things you don’t know. If the concept is too new to you, maybe you should have watched some TV before you posted, Grandpa.
