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.
funnystuff97@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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 11 months ago
Computer engineering is precisely the crossover between EE and CS. In many places it is a program within the EE department.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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 11 months ago
I don’t buy it. How would one of those know about the very tiny people?
Setarkus@lemmy.world 11 months 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 11 months ago
Sometimes, but it is a real engineering discipline. It’s a hybrid of electrical engineering and computer science
ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I say that computers work because we tricked some rocks into thinking by carving special runes into them.
Saltblue@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s not that magic doesn’t exist, it’s just that our current spells and rituals are rudimentary.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 months 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

funnily far more true than many might believe
WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
…don’t forget it wouldn’t have worked if we hadn’t tamed lightning and channelled it into the runes.
negativenull@startrek.website 11 months ago
The smoke that comes out of computers sometimes is caused by the little people getting pissed off and lighting little fires out of protest.
match@pawb.social 11 months ago
Oh no! The tiny people in the computer are French
VinnieFarsheds@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So it works by inserting wine and smelly cheese?

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.
EfreetSK@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Haha what? There are no small people in computers, what are you talking about?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Found the small person.

Education and wisdom are two separate stats, this guy didn’t roll very high on Wis.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months 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 11 months ago
Unfortunately so. There should be more emphasis on the why and how rather than the what.
Syrc@lemmy.world 11 months 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 11 months ago
Intelligence and wisdom.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Who wants to bet he’s just a Helpdesk tech and has no idea what an actual computer engineer is?
Mamertine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m a data engineer and I have no idea what a computer engineer is.

I know an engineer who’s into all kinds of bat-shit conspiracy theories…
TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
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 11 months 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 11 months ago
That would require multiple monitors and rave music.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago
Do the little people have pointy hats?
SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 11 months 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 11 months ago
Probably working for Big Geology and the mainstream media!

MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
No, computers work because there are very tiny rocks inside that vibrate when connected to electricity.

Don’t bring your so-called science mumbo-jumbo around here!
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 11 months ago
I trapped lightning in a rock, and taught it to do math.
Computers are arcane wizardry.
KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s why geologists are the experts in this matter.

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.
