      Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don’t find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

      Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they’re passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.

        “software engineer” is such a stupid, shallow and arrogant description. I’m not an engineer and neither are you.

        I’m a software developer, developer for short. All these fake “engineers” and “scientists” tend to be arrogant stuck up pricks.

        Dude, you’re a code monkey. You’re not creating autocad graphs for Airbus, so get off your high horse.

          A developer is one that just codes. An engineer is one that mocks up their feature, leads meetings to explain what they are going to do and debates with others about the proposed implementation, codes it, tests it thoroughly, then answers any questions about what they made months later and diagnoses issues that QA found. Maybe you’re just a code monkey, but my job is a lot more.

      tbh if I hear someone is into tech I’m interested

      like yay someone with interests!

      and others who aren’t interested in tech are interested anyway because what we do sounds like some sort of witchcraft to them loll
