> Can someone remind me why software engineers can't be held to higher standards?

because most of the time, civil engineers employ proven techs to solve problems that have been solved 100 or 1,000 times already. software engineers, I mean real engineers, face completely new issues in every aspect of the job on daily basis.

just remind me how much changed for civil engineering in the last 20-30 years? how is that compared to software engineering? let's just be honest, those people shouldn't be called engineers, they are more like technicians, as most part of their jobs don't involve anything new.

dude most software “engineers” copy paste code from stackoverflow and load up a library of functions written by somebody else

I guess the code is from ChatGPT now so that’s a big advancement?
