“Ooh that’s really cool” is not what I’d expect to hear after saying I’m a software engineer
Software Engineers are highly paid. Many women want a guy that can provide.
Don’t discriminate. Many men want a guy that can provide too.
*provide money.
That’s what “provide” already refers to…
i think you mean provide an indepth deep dive into the life and works of Rayner Werner Fassbinder, experimental German filmmaker
Clearly.
whats exactly what “provide” means
Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don’t find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.
Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they’re passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.
how so? my experience is that people tend to be impressed and intrigued and they hear I’m a software engineer
“software engineer” is such a stupid, shallow and arrogant description. I’m not an engineer and neither are you.
I’m a software developer, developer for short. All these fake “engineers” and “scientists” tend to be arrogant stuck up pricks.
Dude, you’re a code monkey. You’re not creating autocad graphs for Airbus, so get off your high horse.
Software developer and software engineer are two distinct roles though. They are conflated all too often.

And I have a master’s in computer engineering, don’t get me started on what people think I do.
It’s the literal job description in many cases.
tf you talking about? the engineer engineers the solution and the developer develops it
tbh if I hear someone is into tech I’m interested
like yay someone with interests!
and others who aren’t interested in tech are interested anyway because what we do sounds like some sort of witchcraft to them loll
?? Not in 30 years have I run into such a thing.
Yeah more like has shitty coworkers.
That’s the most generous reading. The alternate reading I’ll leave for OP to deduce.
Or he constantly needs help with easy problems that a quick stackoverflow with 30k upvotes could fix. And he doesn’t remember anything after you’ve showed him twice
It’s been a week and my CEO still hasn’t responded my email asking for scope clarification for a project he asked me to do…
Nothing ever gets done in the second half of December.
More like between thanksgiving and the near year.
I find we’re most productive in far years.
You guys are reminding me of all the planning crap and responding I didn’t get done before the holiday break and really need to do.
I quit my company a week ago because as a company of 13 people the communication at all levels was so poor compared to my previous job working with over 20 and several departments. I’m not usually one to judge people’s degrees, but our boss has a biosciences and GIS degree and somehow wandered their way into software management and has the biggest superiority complex I’ve ever seen. These people plague the software development landscape so, my condolences for your CEO who is probably too busy looking at golf clubs and scheduling tee times while writing up an email about how hard executive management works to get back to you.
It’s also Christmas time
I check my email once per day, then I close it. If you need me, I’m on slack, or walk up to me.
She matched with you because she wants to fuck. Ask her out bruh.
That’s called “working on a team larger than 1”
I’m basically a code removed. I’m loaned out to other teams to write scripts. They usually also want me to run them in addition to writing them. Typically with my own compute resources.
