I'm talking about the idiots who decide to over engineer software to insanity. Like yes, I understand proper architecture and engineering. No, i dont agree that every single module has to be engineered to perfection. Also these same assholes are usually the people who routinely ignore their own code standards, and try bugging me to quick approve their clearly not good looking code. Than they come back and nit pick over mindless idiotic pedantics.

Okay, just a regular dummy here with an honest question.

Last time I did software, it was punch holes on cards. Yeah, it's been a while.

My question is simple and honest: Why do 'coders' call themselves engineers? We didn't. Do engineers have college degrees or something? Please enlighten my feeble old brain. Thanks!
