The only real software engineer anymore is Linus Torvalds, everyone else stands on the shoulders of giants.

Funny enough, I probably did more software engineering as a web dev than I did as a software engineer at some companies.
In the UK, at least, the only difference typically between a web developer and a software engineer is £15-20k in salary. Frankly, we’re all software engineers…
What are dev/engineer salaries like in the UK? Been considering places to move to…
About half of the equivalent in the US, often less. It’s exceedingly rare to make 100k here even in a senior position, although it does exist. Median is 40-50k (pounds, so times that by 1.2 for USD).
Holy crap. That’d be a pretty substantial cut for me, but I guess that said, is the COL a lot less?
This is a new satire site, right? These days it’s getting harder and harder to differentiate between reality and fiction in tech. The rest of their posts are pretty much spot on.
This is not a new kind of policy for Tinder. In the past, PhDs in Social Sciences were banned for impersonating ‘doctors’.
How were they impersonating doctors? How does Tinder verify any of these claims?
First of all, it’s a pretty obvious joke.
In this case, the joke is: “people with a PhD are doctors. It’s a doctorate. But the field of social sciences is not real science, and thus shouldn’t count as a doctorate.”
I get the joke, what I don’t get is how one can impersonate a doctor on Tinder. Are people wearing lab coats in their pictures or something?
The joke isn’t that they’re impersonating a medical professional. It’s that they’re impersonating the title of “doctor” by claiming a PhD. Someone with an Art History PhD is a doctor, but the joke here is that they aren’t really deserving of that title.
Dude, I get the bloody joke!
I’m very specifically asking how they are impersonating it on Tinder. Is it a picture? Is there a field in Tinder you can fill out with your job title? Do they write it in the description?
And I’m asking how Tinder is verifying that.
