Gah, I was all like "No, I'm not like that!" But then I looked down at my self and realized I AM exactly like that. I wear cargo pants, am addicted to tea, would bring my keyboard to work if I had any work, and have obnoxious nerd/code t-shirts. I AM AFRAID OF WOMEN T.T

I don't do web stuff, so my stubble is biological — I can shave until my face is smooth as glass, and the roots still show. Someone needs to invent shaving cream with peroxide.

Of course I bring my own keyboard to work.

"There's no place like 127.0.0.1" hardly is a coding reference.  More like a networking reference.  Of course, only a know-it-all nerd would point that out.  Crap.

I would much prefer that the t-shirt say something like "There's no place like 127.0.0.0/8" since the entire /8 is set aside for loopback use.  (RFC 3330)

I suggested several years ago that ThinkGeek offer a t-shirt like that...but they just ignored me.  :)

That would be appropriate for the ThinkREALLYGeek store.

How about a "I'm Like Ethernet - No Guarantees I Won't Collide With You" bumper sticker?
I suppose that could be considered fairly old school, since most environments are almost exclusively switched these days...not much collisions going on.

There is some truth to that - some areas of electrical engineering are rather heavy on coding these days. Just think of all the DSP stuff (not to mention VHDL circuit design). I guess someone with a solid communications background and unremarkable coding skills is of more use in such applications than someone with opposite abilities.

BTW: Spelling of thread title definitely is not accurate. :P

A true software engineer does more than code all day. They should be involved in design, configuration management, project management, maintenance, etc. They need to work closely with analysts and various stakeholders and have high levels of communication. The days of programmers working in a siloed environment coding all day are long gone.

at least in a company-environment. but think about those who work in open prjects.

I never understood that. What do being an engineer have to do with being well paid or a better coder?

I've been coding since I was eight (c64 basic) and used advanced programming languages since I was ten (Amiga assembler). I started coding C when I was 15.
I also have a masters degree in program/software development... But I'm still not an engineer since I chose to read a course in advanced program optimisation instead of reading a math course. In the Europe university system you have to have at least 21.5 university points in math to be allowed to call your self an engineer. I only have 15 points. One more math course would give me an additional 7.5 points and I would be able to call myself an engineer.

Since I started to work as a programmer professionally I have never had to use math knowledge more advanced than that I've learned at the university.... Actually I never had to use more advanced math knowledge than that I learned at my final year in collage...
But I have had MUCH use of what I learned in my advanced program optimisation course.

This alone makes me believe that I, working as a coder, deserve a better salary than an engineer with a bachelor's degree, working as a coder. But for some reason people generally thinks that an engineer should receive a higher salary just for being an engineer.... "because they have read more math"... :P

I say FU...

If you're referring to open source projects, the same rules most definitely apply. Especially when there are programmers working on the same project remotely from different parts of the world.

I do have some geeky t-shirts... but with coding related jokes. But mostly I use button up shirts at work... though I almost always have black 5.11 tactical cargo pants.
I really love 5.11s pants. I used to use Propers BDU cargo pants. But 5.11s tactical is so much better.... and the cost is almost the same.

And I love coffee... and I brought my own keyboard to work... and I mostly just have time to shave about one time each week.

Haha I laughed :) But then you'd get the network engineers all up in arms that there's no 10.0.0.0/8 and etc. It's a vicious cycle.
