@LinearArray Deleted Tinder around a week ago.

It used to be really good back in 2012-2014 but not anymore I think.

I perused the comments and didn't see anyone mention this. The term "engineer" is regulated by every state in the US. I doubt they had Tinder in mind, but calling yourself an "engineer" without having a Professional Engineer license is illegal, at least when it comes to offering professional engineering services. It's a protected title so that schools and bridges don't get built by scammers--at least that was the intention. I can legally call myself an Engineer!

Just go get your license, and you should be golden lol.

What if my job title says that? Who's going to tell my employer they're wrong.

Then again, "full stack software engineer" as a title might also well just be buzzwords.

!And yes, I know the site is satire lol.!<

While backend- and other types of software developers seem to be unaffected

What if you write backend code for web application?
