Engineers are licensed professionals and what they design has to work or they will be sued into oblivion and possibly charged criminally.

Nobody who has used a computer would dare drive over a bridge designed by a software "engineer".

spoken like someone who has no idea what software engineering entails.   maybe a semi-literate script kiddie like spanky

6 years later and still no software "engineer" has gone to jail or even been fined for gross negligence.

It's almost like they have no professional accountability.

Amazing that I actually agree with the Sheboon about something.  Though I highly doubt that she is any sort of actual engineer either.

Maybe a cafeteria engineer that brings the boys some coffee.

No, engineers are people who have a BS or better in engineering.

BS ME 1988.

But these days most of the twinks that write code are not software engineers.

I wonder how many software engineers are going to lose their license to practice software engineering over this Crowdstrike fuqup.

Kindly pleased to do the needful and create extra PagerDoodie Alerts!

So who wants to bet on how many software engineering licensees are going to be revoked over this?

I'm not sure that Crowdstrike should be allowed to apply their professional seal until a review of their engineering practices is completed.

Just like the bridges built in the 1950s and prior that were deisgned by a human using a pencil as a tool. The pencil didnt design the bridge.

Phildo is one of those creatures who is so incredibly stupid, that it is impossible to explain to him just how stupid he is.

If you don't think engineering processes are followed in the creation of spacecraft software, airplane software, or nuclear power plant software, you are out of your fuqing mind.

Sure if you are a twink in Madison Wisconsin writing a medical website, you can write Ruby on Rails shytware while taking it in the ass but everyone knows  those twinks are not engineers.
