Great comment, thanks. I agree on the difference between a Computer Science degree and a Software engineering degree. I have the former (Comp Sci), and that's the premise for my article. Many folks were never taught the strict definition of "engineering", and believe that's what they do as software devs. I know that's not what I do.

I'm mostly OK with CS majors calling themselves Software Engineers. There are many applications for which that's appropriate.

My real gripe is with the "Software Engineers" who hung out their shingle after reading books like "Learn Java in 21 Days".
