Funny, because in Canada “engineer” (the term used with zero abandon in TFA) is a regulated term and calling yourself an engineer in a professional setting when you are not licensed can get you a nice 50k fine.

I’ve only met one programmer in my entire life who actually was licensed engineer.

I call myself a “computer systems architect and implementation specialist”, which won’t get me in trouble and uses buzzwords that mostly describes my day-to-day at my own $DAY_JOB. But come on, let’s be real - I’m a programmer.
