Uh… no? Well, maybe for the guy in the picture because they’re clearly dumb, but “computer engineer” sounds more like chip design and circuit layout than even software engineering, let alone basic IT work…
Basic IT work is wholly and completely different than any kind of computer-related engineering.

As a computer engineer who works with FPGAs, thank you. I can’t tell you how many times someone comes to me with a CS question and I’m like, I dunno! Ask a CS person! I hardly know Python. [Admittedly, I really should learn.]
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Computer engineering is precisely the crossover between EE and CS. In many places it is a program within the EE department.

You’re arguing that words don’t mean what many people use them to mean. Most service desk techs that I know have “computer engineer” in their LinkedIn.
And that’s coming from me, a person with a B.E. in computer engineering. I hate that it is what it is, but it is.

“Let me engineer you a new password”
Yuo, sounds about right
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t buy it. How would one of those know about the very tiny people?
Setarkus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You mixed that up, computer engineers know that the earth is flat, it’s geologists who know about the tiny people making all our electronics work
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year ago
Sometimes, but it is a real engineering discipline. It’s a hybrid of electrical engineering and computer science
ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I say that computers work because we tricked some rocks into thinking by carving special runes into them.
Saltblue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s not that magic doesn’t exist, it’s just that our current spells and rituals are rudimentary.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d say it’s that the information on how it works is out there and not secret. If I want to turn lead into gold that knowledge is available to me, I just need access to a nuclear reactor and to learn a fuck ton of stuff.
Also the fact that it’s all very math dependent doesn’t help. The “when will I use this” subject is the biggest prerequisite to magic
nugmeister64@lemmy.world 1 year ago
funnily far more true than many might believe
WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
…don’t forget it wouldn’t have worked if we hadn’t tamed lightning and channelled it into the runes.

The smoke that comes out of computers sometimes is caused by the little people getting pissed off and lighting little fires out of protest.

Oh no! The tiny people in the computer are French

So it works by inserting wine and smelly cheese?

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.
EfreetSK@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haha what? There are no small people in computers, what are you talking about?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Found the small person.

Education and wisdom are two separate stats, this guy didn’t roll very high on Wis.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told. Wisdom is, as you suggested, not necessary for that.
MellowSnow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Unfortunately so. There should be more emphasis on the why and how rather than the what.
Syrc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told.
Wait, are there places where it’s not?
cooopsspace@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Intelligence and wisdom.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
EatYouWell@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Who wants to bet he’s just a Helpdesk tech and has no idea what an actual computer engineer is?
Mamertine@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m a data engineer and I have no idea what a computer engineer is.

You, but actually knows things.

I’m a computer engineer and I affirm you the earth is flat.

I know an engineer who’s into all kinds of bat-shit conspiracy theories…

I work in 1st level support, and we don’t want anything to do with this guy. He’s too stupid, even for us lol
SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I’m just a medical student, but as a computer engineer can’t he just hack into the mainframe and reveal that the earth is flat?
satans_crackpipe@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That would require multiple monitors and rave music.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You can just dig all the way down to bedrock, right? Should be easy if you kill all the creeps and spiders
Wogi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I am a tool and die maker and I affirm that heart attacks are caused by tiny, airborne sharks that sound exactly like Steven Crowder on helium. When you breathe them in they go to your heart and literally attack it.
Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do the little people have pointy hats?
SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Get him! Get the geologist and silence him! He’s unveiled the truth and now they’ll take our tiny people away from us!
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Probably working for Big Geology and the mainstream media!
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 year ago
No, computers work because there are very tiny rocks inside that vibrate when connected to electricity.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t bring your so-called science mumbo-jumbo around here!
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I trapped lightning in a rock, and taught it to do math.
Computers are arcane wizardry.
KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s why geologists are the experts in this matter.
victorz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
At least he used “affirm” rather than “confirm”.

Computers are powered by magic smoke.
When the smoke escapes, the computer doesn’t work anymore.
Also, the earth isn’t flat.

It has been so, so long since I last saw the Time Cube. Thank you.

More about the Time Cube (warning: you’ll probably end up with more questions after reading it)
